And, to this day, no one sells a convex right side mirror for the early C3's.

Part B of that is, there are WAY more cars on the roads today than years ago. I've been driving for almost 39 years now, and it's incredible how much more congested the roads are these days. More people driving more cars.

I ADDED A RS MIRROR TO MY 68 COUPE.
HELPS WITH BACKING UP FOR ME.
SYMETRICALLY THE CAR LOOKS BETTER FROM THE FRONT.
I DIDN'T WANT TO PIN STRIPE THE PS ON THE GARAGE PILLAR
PULLING OUT.
MY BUDDY DID THAT ALREADY ON A NASSAU BLUE 65.
SICK TO HIS STOMACH INDEFINITELY

That's the whole reason I put a Right mirror on my 68.
Symmetry, and not having the foggiest idea where the garage door post was.

I must say , its a relief knowing what that passengers door handle is doing at anytime.
(its all I can see)
Those big womanly hips (guards) prevent you seeing any traffic behind the car.

But I still love it for it , as impractical as it is, I wouldn't have it any other way.
