Abstract: A combination forward and rearward viewing mirror assembly for automotive vehicles comprises a first body member fixed to the door of an automobile and a second body member shiftably coupled to the first body member via a linkage or lever system. The first body member is provided with a mirror which coacts with another mirror on a side of the second body member in an operative or extended configuration of the mirror assembly to provide an enhanced view to the automobile driver of objects located beyond the forward end of the automobile and, in particular, beyond a preceding vehicle. A third mirror is mounted on a side of the movable body member opposite the second mirror, the third mirror serving as a side-disposed rear view mirror. The third mirror is designed to give the operator substantially the same rearward view in both an extended and a retracted configuration of the mirror assembly.
