[FWDLK] That complicated rear-view mirror:

[Louis Rugani <X779@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ah, yes. It's a patented aftermarket accessory called the Passing Eye,
made here in Kenosha, Wisconsin in the mid-1950s or thereabouts.
It acts a bit like a periscope in that it extends your view outside the
car and around the vehicle ahead of you, without you having to crane
your neck out the window; so actually, it's a *front*-view mirror, made
for ease of passing on narrow roads.
I have two NOS ones in boxes. No one here seems to know exactly who made
them or where, but they definitely were seen often at the time, and
still are. They were not specific to Chrysler, though.

Regards....
Lou
