I always thought GM messed up not putting the 71/72 rear bumper and lights on the 70 cars. Not that the square 70 lights looked bad. I just think the quad tail lights looks much better.

Dig the yellow lights on the GTO. Gives it a Euro flair.

Wow! I honestly thought it was a unpopular opinion. Had no idea a designer like Foose would agree. His comments on the 70 being clean is a great way to put it. I've always thought the 70 cars just had something about them that made them look better than the other coke bottle years. 66s are still my favorites though, lol.

Thanks!
