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.

And the Avanti Motors production order for R. L.'s '72 Avanti indicates locating rear-view mirror at top of windshield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
