The classic example is the 1975-1980 Buick Skyhawk and at least some of the badge-enginnered versions from part of that year range - Chevy Monza, Pontiac Sunbird, and Olds Starfire - if they were optioned with the 3.8L V6 (the Skyhawk only came with that one engine).

I've posted here before that on my '95 Eagle Talon TSi AWD you also had to remove the bumper to change the headlight. Not sure if it affected the Gen I cars as well, nor if all Gen II variants (badge-engineered and / or different engines) had the same problem.
