Let me see-

RALPH NADER PUSHED THIS ONE TOO! RATS-FOILED AGAIN!!!

I guess someone was blinded by the glare and wrecked his Vette into a car load of handicapped children and killed them all. What a tradjedy.

The reality is most likely some leftist nut whined to the right person and got noticed.

...and if you notice the early shark's inside rear view mirror had a chrome housing. In '73 that changed to a black housing. Again due to the reflections of the chrome. Guess it reflected enough light to blind the drivers going the other direction

Now if we can do something about those pickups with that huge flat chrome rear bumper that reflects your headlights right back into your eyes
