Cars which share the same headlights?

[Tornado]

How deep does this rabbit hole go!?

Alfa Romeo Bertone Coupé gave its Taillights to the ISO Grifo

Ford Cortina to the TVR Griffith

MB 280 SE to the Isdera Imperator

This one was a lot of fun to figure out.

Is it a American sports car?

Is it an American sports car?

Looks like 5th gen Civic

It's American, sorta!

I thought they were Grand Marquis headlights, but they're too thin for that. Are they off a Mystique? That was the little Mercury thing based off the Contour right?

I Googled the Winnebago Ultimate Advantage and a link to a forum for 2002 model. Replacement headlights point to a member saying they have OEM 1997 Crown Vic headlamps.

„Sorta american“ makes it even harder to guess🤔😅

My first thought was Oldsmobile, they somehow look vaguely familiar.

I did some Wiki hunting for Oldsmobile models... the Intrigue? Aurora?

 

[Tornado]

Are they off a Mystique?

Yes.

the Contour right?

And yes.

Dang, because Civic corner lights look like that and thought they did some body modelling to look like they do.

Koenigsegg CC prototype

Mazda 323F BA

Vauxhall Astra Mk.2 Headlights

I think they were used on the Ginetta G30 here.

SSC Ultimate Aero's headlights look to be the ones on a Ford Focus SVT.

News to me; the Morgan AeroMax got its brakelights from the Lancia Thesis.

Also you don't know how hard it was to find a good picture of the back of a Cavalier sedan (which have presumably all returned to the earth at this point) vs a Cavalier coupe of convertible (which are all over the internet but use different taillights because the trunk opening is different vs the sedan that was just a restyled first generation Cavalier).

GM made more than 10 million J bodies and I honestly don't remember the last time I saw one on the road.

I see, of all things, the convertible ones fairly frequently. There are three second generation Z24 convertibles floating around the area (one pre-facelift and two post) that seem to be daily driven and look like they are treated like family heirlooms. I haven't seen a second generation Cavalier sedan since probably the 2000s, I remember first generations being so rare on the ground even in the early 2000s that when I first saw one I didn't know what it was; and there is at least one third gen that I see at work semi-frequently that looks like it was in dire straights when Obama was president (but South Carolina doesn't have inspections!) and definitely isn't running on all four cylinders or with muffler.


When I first moved down here I saw a second generation wagon (in that teal color it seemed GM painted 90% of them in) a few times but that's been gone for a while too.
