A Bright IdeaHeadlights are important; one trip down a pitch-black backwoods road with ordinary lights, and you're sure to see the light-or the lack of it. Automotive Performance Systems has been supplying high-quality, high-performance, Cibie lighting for over 27 years to drivers who want brighter, whiter light with wider peripheral range. Features include lead-crystal lenses, precision optics, and 100 percent more light than a sealed beam. They offer high-performance replacement headlights and quartz halogen bulbs for just about every application. Cibie high/low headlights come standard with a "city light," which uses a clear, miniature 4-watt light bulb for parking or daylight driving. For more information, contact Automotive Performance Systems, Inc., 3300 Corte Malpaso, Dept. CRM, Camarillo, CA 93012.

And since Fifties Trailers uses only premium all-wood interiors, period laminates, and classic flooring and vinyls, they're true to period, and at $13,800, they're also affordable.
