yep pretty rare. imho pretty ugly too which is why it is rare today. The
15 or so states that prohibited dual headlights all changed by 58 and I
expect many folks ordered the dual grill and headlight to 'update' their
Imperial. I would have. I clearly remember the 58 model year and the big
deal about the 'quad' headlights.
My 57 came with singles and since I was not going to use them on the
roadster, I sold them. Interesting things. Each one weighs about 60 lbs.
The grill is different also so it's not just a matter of swapping the
headlight pods.
