keiser31 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 The "passing eye" mirror is a MUCH sought after item. It will allow you to see around the car or truck in front of you to pass on a two lane road. When I first saw these at swap meets, I thought that they were some kind of a joke so I never bought them. Man, do I ever wish I had some to sell now!! They will attach to almost any car. They were mostly used before exterior rear view mirrors were a required part of a car.

Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Hey, guys, regards the passing eye mirror. These were still being sold in the early 1950s. That is when I started working in "filling stations". They were sold as an add on. Clamped to the top of the door. Thanks for the memories.

Jon37 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Strictly aftermarket, never an option on any make. I met and interviewed the gentleman behind these, several years ago. He also made a more spartan "truck" version that wasn't chromed. He didn't make much money on the Passing-Eyes, had gazillions of leftovers, and was trying to peddle them for years. The irony is that, now that he's gone, they're finally in demand! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I recall a discussion about them some time ago in which it was claimed that they had been declared illegal in some places because they were capable of confusing the driver enough to cause an accident. Has anyone ever heard anything similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
