    I actually did 240 miles last night on the major highways...1.5 hrs in stop and go...and yes having an A Bone as @AVater does I just shifted my head with the body to the left and out of the searchlight beams behind me...

    Nowadays there is an overwhelming number of jacked pickups and that raises their modern beams to a level that's guaranteed to get under your retinas...

    It really wasn't a problem overall...in fact I left many in the dust...that works too...:D

    Having a Model A also is part of the challenge as I don't want to run a modern mirror...I find the simplistic Art Deco style I suspect repro mirror quite adequate...but certainly not ideal for what your referencing...so the body shift really worked last night...

    A rectangular tinted clip might help as well....

    Not great for comfort but overall after a 500+mile 2 way haul yesterday overall I felt I had done a major workout...comfort was never a Hotrod thing so it.
