Abstract: A fender finder that includes a vertical standard threaded over at least a portion of its exterior and designed for installation into a receiver portion threaded over at least a portion of its interior. In one form of the invention, the receiver portion is affixed by bolts to an exterior surface of the vehicle. Prior to installation, a mounting surface of the receiver portion is shaped in conformity with the vehicle exterior. The vertical standard is then threaded into the receiver portion. The vehicle operator can easily see the vertical standard, whereas the vehicle hood and fenders are virtually invisible to the driver of many recent automobile models. The fender finder informs the vehicle driver about the location of vehicle extremities, thus facilitating the processes of parking, driving along narrow thoroughfares, and positioning the vehicle within a traffic lane while cruising along the highway.

Abstract: A fender finder that includes a vertical standard threaded over at least a portion of its exterior and designed for installation into a receiver portion threaded over at least a portion of its interior. In one form of the invention, the receiver portion is affixed by adhesive within an opening in the upper surface of a vehicle bumper. The vertical standard is then threaded into the receiver portion. The vehicle operator can easily see the vertical standard, whereas the vehicle hood and fenders are virtually invisible to the driver of many recent automobile models. The fender finder informs the vehicle driver about the location of vehicle extremities, thus facilitating the processes of parking, driving along narrow thoroughfares, and positioning the vehicle within a traffic lane while cruising along the highway.

Abstract: A fender finder that includes a remotely controlled, extendable and retractable standard portion that offers continuously variable position control. By actuating a switch internal to the vehicle, the vehicle operator may position the standard at an optimum viewing height above the vehicle. When not in use, the standard may be retracted substantially entirely within the vehicle.
