ABSTRACT:
A headlamp assembly is fixedly mounted below the trailing edge of an opening provided in a forwardly sloping vechicle body panel. The leading edge of the opening is spaced substantially forward of the headlamp and in general horizontal alignment with the lower edge of the headlamp so that the illumination from the headlamp shines forwardly through the opening and onto the roadway. A closure door is pivotally mounted on the vehicle body for rotary movement about a transverse axis and has a first closure surface sized and contoured to mate with the body panel and close the opening to thereby conceal the headlamp and streamline the vehicle body. When the closure door is rotated downwardly to expose the headlamp, the first closure surface is stored within the space between the headlamp and the leading edge of the opening. The closure door has a second closure surface which assumes a horizontal position and is sized and configured to define a floor which substantially fills the space between the headlamp and the leading edge of the opening.
