Can any of the early bus gurus tell me the first year for the interior rear 
view mirror on the commercial trucks, e.g., single cab/panel van.  Trying to id 
the year of a single cab for a local corp writing its history which used VWs 
extensively.  Has a photo of an early single cab used by security force.  Has 
pressed bumpers, side mirrors, and is not a barndoor and is a euro version.  
Has a front Texas plate for 1958.  Conclusion it has to be a 55 to 58.  Only 
other piece of evidence is that it has an inside rear view mirror.  Early 
commercial vehicles did not have this mirror.  Knowing what year the mirror 
started might at least narrow down the possibilities.  Help Peter and Will.
