    What did these mirrors come on???

     



    dcp_2191.jpgI got these as is, and am curious about their original use.

    My guess is late fifties.... but not even a wild guess about what make of car they came on!

    The base says "AUTO LITE 1801"... but I could not find anything concrete on a Google search.

    Darn cool looking mirrors and differently from the time when cars were designed with style and grace.
    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.
