Were hideaway headlights offered as an option for any model charger in '72 or were they only offered on certain models? Are the headlight doors electric or vacuum operated?

Thanks in advance, Scott

I dont know the 72 options that well, I do know they were standard on SE's though.  And they are electric since 1970.

i thought i knew the answer to this one, but i looked it up anyway and was wrong.

according to the data book it was

standard on SE and Charger Topper
optional on coupe and hardtop w/ Rallye package only

Alright thanks guys. So it sounds like it could have potentially come on any model in '72 either as standard or optional equipment.

Looks like that says it came standard on the SE and optional only on the Rallye? I'm guessing an "s" means standard? Whats "E" stand for?

Sorry. I was referring to the "S" and "E" placed in the columns next to the options. Not what SE stood for.
