My parents had this friend 75ish with a 74 4 door caprice and a 75 Olds Cutlass She never smashed anymore cars after we put winks on her rides..... Hence the reason I could never feel cool with them on my car....LOL

Great mirrors that make it easy to see out the back.
Run one on my race car. A little ugly on a street car but a damn good and effective on the street also!

I run one in my Cortina and I had 'em a few past cars and trucks. I like 'em! Great rearward vision, but they do make your visors useless. I've got a box of 'em in my garage (ebay win!) If you want one cheap let me know!

They were real popular in the 80's. If the mirror can't be pushed forward enough it will interfere with the visors. The come in four or five panel versions. Most cars fit the five panel width. The mirror provides good shade.
The visor will only hang down a couple inches past the mirror.
They are very functional. Great vision. You don't need to look over your shoulder to check the blind spot. You do miss the dimming of a regular mirror at night.
