This auction is for an original 1958 Chevrolet passenger car rear view mirror Accessory No. 987701, Group No. 10.185.  It includes the mounting bracket with foundry markings of 4 36 A.  This item may fit other Chevy years so do your due diligence.

The 1958 Chevrolet Autocessories Manual lists this item on Page 43 as “Inside Non-Glare Rear View Mirror.” 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The manual goes on to state the following: 

A prismatic type mirror that can be changed from a clear to a glare proof glass by the flip of a tab on the lower edge of the mirror.  The tabs are marked “day” and “night” to tell at a glance the position of the mirror.

Mounts on the regular production mirror bracket and can be used on all passenger cars and station wagons.  The mirror is designed for a wide angle of clear undistorted rear vision and to eliminate the glare of headlights from cars following at night.

Part No. 987701
