Cibie Headlights

Andy Saunders' Dodge Daroo I Tribute of Poole, Dorset, UK. Inspired by Dodge’s 1967 factory show car built by Bill Brownlie and George Barris, Andy Saunders' Daroo I Tribute pays homage to one of the most radical Scat Pack-era creations. Based on a 1969 Dodge Dart and reworked to match the original’s 1967 profile, the tribute features a 10-inch shorter rear, 17-inch longer front, V-nose, wraparound windshield, and signature side pipes. Built using only two reference photos and period-correct details, including Parnelli Jones mags and Firestone Goldline Tires, the car was completed in June 2025 after 1,200 hours of work. Saunders debuted the car at the Beaulieu Custom and American Show, honoring the bold design legacy of the original Daroo I.

Cibie Headlights are high-performance European headlamps manufactured by the French company Cibié, known for their superior light output and precision optics. Popular in motorsports and rally scenes, Cibie lights gained a following among customizers and hot rodders, especially in the 1960s and 1970s, who wanted a cleaner look and brighter performance than standard sealed-beams. Often featuring flat lenses and H4 halogen bulbs, Cibie headlights were a popular upgrade on both mild customs and pro-touring-style builds. Their understated design made them a favorite for builders going for a subtle but functional custom touch.
