DVN attended the Los Angeles auto show a few weeks ago. Some auto brands were absent, yes, but still: wow, what a grand show after these years of pandemic-grade shows with sparse attendance by automakers and spectators alike. It was a great shock, in the best possible way, to come away once again from an auto show with several hundred photos, just like in the before times!, to show the progress in vehicle lighting design, technology, and style. We’re diligently working to assemble the DVN Report with every one of those several hundred pics, annotated for a real show-and-tell experience. Watch for it next week.
In the meantime, here’s a sneak preview of a couple of the fascinating lights.
They ranged from new tech dressed up in vintage fashions, as on this dark-blue Charge 67—instantly recalling the 1967 Ford Mustang, without looking like a copycat job—to new tech dressed up in new fashions, as on this white Genesis G90.
Twin racks of small square ice cubes, with DRL-position-signal light cubes interspersed with headlamp cubes of differing optical characteristics. Both lamps are works of art, each of its own genre. And soon, we’ll show you the rest of them!
