Thanks for the photos. I always wondered about something: the headlights on the Ford in the first photo have some sort of a mirror thing on them. Does anyone know if that had a purpose other than as a decoration?

Those "mirror things" on the headlights of the '56 Ford are chromed hoods, a period thing to add a custom touch to a car. If my memory serves me correctly, the supposed function was to eliminate the need to hit the dim switch when encountering an oncoming vehicle.
