I found nothing on the pics,,this is the closest I got.
From this book

 

Interesting; but strange!
Thanks J.

 

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
That man leaning on the hood is Robert McNamara. He was instrumental in the design of the T Bird behind him AND Secretary of Defense (61-68) micro-managing the Vietnam war as well as the war on poverty.

 

In 1954 he was Cassius Clay.

 

Ouch!!

 

Cost cutting on the headlights?

You are correct. That is Robert McNamara and other Ford Executives with the 1958 FoMoCo lineup

 

Great pictures from Conn. Dragway Thanks.

 

Quad Headlights were not legal in all states until 1958. Chrysler used a filler in 1957 for some states.
