Police cars had dual mirrors.

The police cars with dual mirrors appear to have different mounting than the car on BAT and the VW above. But I think the police cars were B's and C's. Were there any 356A Police cars?

My 1956 VW convertible had a single mirror with the same sun visors set up. I’ve never seen a double mirrored one.

http://www.oldbug.com/55dual.htm And this ad for the same car describes another found in Portugal and photographed. And discusses them being used as Drivers Ed cars in Germany.

The 356A cabriolets were the earliest Polizei cars.

I think dual mirrors were used on some rally cars.
