Mirror???
I just bought a 1934 Ford 3 window coupe. The roof is chopped and I'm tall so when I get to a traffic signal, it's a little hard to see the traffic lights without ducking down and looking for them
Someone told me that they had seem some type of mirror that clips to the dash, just below the bottom of the window that you can adjust so that it reflects an image of the traffic light.
Does anyone know anything about this and if you do, where can I purchase one?Last edited by Rick Huntz; 04-19-2015 at 05:54 PM.

Its called a traffic light viewer, Guide makes a nice one and So Cal speed shop does too. You can find many styles on ebay actually, I have been looking at 'em too as I couldn't see a traffic light in my new car anyway shape or how. These where accessories on 50's cars (usually when a visor was used) and look pretty cool for the nicer Guide modelsWhy is mine so big and yours so small, Chrysler FirePower

It's a traffic light viewer and I had one on my 55 Chevy because of the sun visor and it worked very well. They are very Nostalgic also which makes them fit nicely on Hot Rods/Classic.

A Fresnel lens like techinspector referred to also comes in about foot square sheets - used for rear view sight on busses and such. Cheap. I have taken them and cut to about a 1 inch high by 2 inch long piece and mounted it to the bottom of my windshield. It works great and is my antique version of a heads up display. (my antique version of a GPS is a map, so it fits right in)
