@Plecostomus will never win COTD but has a: Fords have Maybach logos etched in their headlamps? They're that desperate for advertising? Man, that 62 isn't selling as well as they thought it would.
I'm happy to see not all creativity has been excised from designers/engineers in the automotive kingdom.
Now, howsabout we bring back gas filler caps located under/behind tail lamps?
Mmmmm. 1955 Cadillac convertible....
Please, keep the ones behind license plates, though those did, in theory, make it easier for morons to get gasoline, as they were on the vehicle's centerline.
Nothing makes me laugh like idiots on "Pumpcasting" dragging a gas hose over the trunk/rear window 'cause they're too damned stupid to remember which side the filler is on...or they can't look at the gas gauge to see if it has a pointer showing you. Hell, release the filler door and look in the mirror!
Nice detail - I love hidden little tricks like that. I remember the first time I followed an early '80s Audi 4000 on a cold morning, only to see "quattro" spelled out in melting frost in the rear window of the car.
Hahahaha, that's friggin' excellent. I'm expecting to hear a lot of "what the hell's the point", but it's those cute little details (like kanji on a radiator cap) that give a car its character and make me fall in love.
@A strooooolling the Jalopplayer: I remember lying on the floor, working on relaying the headlights in the Corrado and swearing like a sailor, only to find that when you detached a certain panel and peered upwards through the maze of wires, there was a cut-out silhouetted VW logo hidden beneath the dash. I went from hating the car to calling for anyone near by to peer up and see it in about 2 seconds flat. It's little details like that that make me love cars.
The Rambler is also replete with them. Hidden script "R" logos everywhere, including in places you should never be able to notice them.
@Ash79 welcomes you to Ash Wednesday: Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. To a lesser extent, I still loved lifting the hood of my dad's (recently departed) G35 to see "POWER DUCT" and "FRONT MIDSHIP" needlessly but perfectly displayed on the plastic.
Let me remind you that an Ash is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.

Yo Dawg I heard you like jeeps, so I put a jeep in your Jeep so can drive your Jeep while you drive your Jeep.
Or something like, I'm sure someone can take this further.

I: Let the bad color not be seen. It attracts them.
II: Never enter the woods. That is where they wait.
III: Heed the warning bell, for they are coming.

Is there anything else we should know about?
Have you seen everything on the web?
