The following year it appeared again at the Paris salon, but this time with headlights: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=18917

It was supposed to have fluorescent light in the front bumper. Note the white glass strips.

According to Réné Bellu, that was a bluff, because there was not enough time to incorporate the headlights prior to the Salon, which then appeared one year later.
