Nothing amazing about the shape – just a full-width rectangle – but photos don’t do them justice for how distinctive they look in real life when illuminated. The taillights on the 1997-98 Lincoln Mark VIII are interesting. I can’t believe there’s been only brief mention of the ’59 Cadillac – no taillamps are more iconic than those. Some of those kds grew up to design the first video games. As Dad drove through the neighborhood, tiny white-red quasars would flash on the rumps of parked cars, A kid would cast eyes forward of the approach to the next looming rhinoceros in the dark and anticipate where the two bright blips would appear–a game similar to leading one’s eyes ahead of the course of a firefly–and giggling when the guess was wrong.

From there, the nighttime view through the windshield was like looking at a movie screen. Standing behind the front seat in the days before lap belts was a kid delight. Reflectors were integral, but their shapes within the lens were often a surprise.Īs ever, light and movement attract the childish eye. Older Curbivores like me also have deep memories of another aspect of tail light design that has been overwhelmed over decades by excited electrons: reflectors.īefore the early ’50s, tail lights were mostly small. It has fine associations with the two major comets that graced the night sky in the ”90s. Present tense, I like coming up behind a BMW with the Hale-Bopp look. Once you get beyond the distance where depth of field allows you to see in, the overall shape takes over. They look like aquariums full of fish you can lose yourself in them, stopped behind a car at a traffic light. I’m a huge fan of the deep dimensionality in the last 15 years. There are the showpiece lights and the ones we gradually came to love or respect for remaining unchanged over a decade or more.
We seem to have two approaches to this question.
