Abstract
A two-position contoured, externally mounted rear view mirror for automotive vehicles as disclosed. The mirror housing is rotatable between two fixed positions. The mirror housing contains a first relatively large mirror providing a relatively large rearward viewing area for city driving and a second relatively smaller mirror having a reduced rearward viewing area for highway driving. In a first fixed position of the mirror housing, the first mirror is viewable by the operator and in a second fixed position, the second mirror is viewable by the operator. The mirror housing is shaped such that in the second position, the aerodynamic drag of the mirror housing is minimized to improve the high speed efficiency of the vehicle. Alternate embodiments of the invention include convex portions for the mirror to increase the rearward field of view.
