Was talking to the police chief and said i was passed in the center of town on a double yellow, he said heck I have been passed while in the cruiser !

I've been passed on a double line in town... by a snowsled!!!

They also didn't have huge headrests and thick door posts to accommodate airbags. These have reduced visibility. At one time you had almost 360' visibility in a pickup. Now it's much more limited, especially when trying to see what's coming up behind you on the right.

Not to mention windows in them large enough to see out of, not the little portholes they have today.

I've got a 60s vintage car with just the one drivers side mirror, maybe 4" diameter. Between the small size and its placement (vertical column for the vent window centered in it), can't see squat with it. We've definitely gotten spoiled with large, dual mirrors in the last 35-40 years.

The same here most of the town roads that are paved have no painted center lines or white lines on the edges just 16-18 foot of paved width. Lots of blind corners and knolls that you can't see over or past.

Add to that corners that aren't banked and frost heaves. At my last house I lived on a corner like that...banked the wrong way with a big frost heave about halfway thru. Add to that, the curve went on a bit further than it looked like coming into it. My mailbox was always getting taken out, and there was a big pine tree next to the road with many a chunk taken out of it by bumpers. Eventually, the town fixed the frost heave, and things got a lot better.

Our 2005 Volvo had little pop-up windshield washer nozzles in front of each head lamp, that squirted washer fluid onto them to melt ice and snow. No need for a wiper, they just blew dry. Not sure if that would work on a camera, might cause too much aberration of the image while wet, but would be interesting to try.

It is or was a requirement in some parts of Europe. I don't think it is true anymore, but was at one time. You would see all the euro cars in the US with headlight washers for that reason. No reason to make another version just for that...

So…$2000 - $2500.

I recall when a complete car cost that.

I had a Mazda RX-7 (1988 Turbo II, 10th annv) with headlight washers.. no wipers though (mbz SEC's had wipers)

I always wash my heights when I get gas if I need to wash the windows.

My 1970 Corvette had windshield washers without wipers. I disconnected them though, because they used too much fluid and the washer fluid tank was too small.

What good is windshield washer’s with no wipers? Why leave the windshield wet?

I had a 1969 Corvette and a friend had a 70 and they had windshield wipers. They were under a panel at the end of the hood just before the windshield. The panel lifted up and then the wipers engaged.

Cadillac Alante's all had headlight washers 87 - 93
