ABSTRACT:
A mirror assembly for mounting onto an exterior front surface of a vehicle, preferably one on each opposed front fender of the vehicle. The mirror assembly includes a mirror having a reflective surface, the surface having a generally convex geometry, and being in the shape of an ellipsoid. The reflective surface provides the driver with a field of view along the vertical axis is in the range of 180.degree. to 220.degree.. The top portion of the reflective surface has a first plane of truncation which passes through the approximate center of the reflective surface. The rear portion of the reflective surface has a second plane of truncation which removes at least the rear half of the surface. This second plane is essentially normal to the first plane of truncation. The reflective surface is mounted with a slight upward tilt.
