The rear view mirror has been a standard feature in automobiles for many years. However, there are always new innovations being made to improve the design and function of this important safety feature. One such innovation was made by Chevrolet when they moved the rear view mirror from the side window to the windshield.
This change was first introduced on the 1967 Chevy Camaro. The idea behind it was to give the driver a better view of what was behind them. It also reduced glare from the sun and headlightsof following vehicles. Many other automakers soon followed suit and began offering this same design on their own vehicles
