As late as 1972, Avanti ll's were being sold with the rear view mirror installed near the bottom of the windshield.......True?

I will say false, even though it is a confusing subject.  Two 1968 factory photos show the mirror up high and a 1970 factory photo shows the mirror down low.

Yes, it' s a bit confusing, however, the answer to this trivia question is TRUE!:(

OK, I will ask.  Did you buy a 1972 new?

No...however, Raymond Loewy did!:o

And the Avanti Motors production order for R. L.'s '72 Avanti indicates locating rear-view mirror at top of windshield.:)
