This rare mirror shows not only the dealership name but the
left corner shows a speed gauge. Lettering underneath this
is "And Observe Posted Speeds" ..... top of the mirror
states "Average stopping distance in feet on dry
pavement". Also a lettering at the top that states "Let
ability to STOP govern how fast you GO". Silver
with black lettering the dealership name - You're Looking At
a Good Friend of Ours SAAR MOTOR CO. Bemidji, Minn - Phone
350.
This vintage Automotive Dealership clip-on visor mirror is
in good condition! The glass part of the mirror is in
good shape but there is age and air damage to the silvering
around the edges. Small chip to the left hand side and a few
tiny one's at edges. Red border. . My photos don't do the
piece justice.
The back of the mirror is diamond aluminum and is excellent.
This measures approx. It measures 10" long by 3 5/8"
high.
This shows some minor wear associated with age & use but
displays very well. Excellent for the Gas & Oil
buff, or for the Bemidji MN History collector.
Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions or
would like to see more pictures. Thank you for
looking!
