Inside Rear View Mirror<br />
The day-night inside rear view mirror on ali models<br />
is 12" long, 2" longer than last year. This means<br />
better visibility of traffic approaching from the rear.<br />
The mirror glass is shatter-resistant and vinyl-framed<br />
for added protection. The mounting support that<br />
suspends the mirror is designed to break away on<br />
impact from any direction. A simple twist of the<br />
mirror's tab moves the day-night mirror from clear<br />
daylight visibility to non-glare nighttime visibility.<br />
Door Panels<br />
The door panels on all models have a bold, new look<br />
for <strong>1969</strong>. The pronounced wing is a sweeping,<br />
visual extension of the instrument panel, yet is<br />
actually a part of the door. The extension on the left<br />
front door houses the windshield wiper-washer<br />
controls. Power controls for the windows and doors<br />
are conveniently located on the armrest as is the<br />
remote-control knob for the outside rearview mirror.<br />
Front door lock knobs have been moved 3" forward<br />
on Sedans and 10.8"-forward on Coupes for better<br />
anti-theft protection and to make the knobs more<br />
accessible when the doors are unlocked manually.<br />
Calais models have a camera grain, matte black<br />
vinyl insert. De Viiies with cloth upholstery have a<br />
decorative cloth insert while De Ville leather upholstery<br />
models and all Fleetwood series cars feature<br />
a rich, rosewood insert. All inserts are framed by a<br />
thin chrome bezel. Inside door handles are recessed<br />
in the armrest for added safety.<br />
Glove Compartment<br />
The glove compartment has been newly designed<br />
to provide a roomy 452 cu. in. of storage space,<br />
100 cu. in. or 28% more than last year. A new<br />
stowage pocket is conveniently located on the back<br />
of the door for placing the Owner's Manual, making<br />
the entire compartment available for storing other<br />
needed items. The glove compartment also features<br />
a new lock that provides more positive locking and<br />
a new recessed lock knob that rotates approximately<br />
90 degrees clockwise for opening the door.<br />
Additional ribbing increases the compartment's<br />
torsional stiffness.<br />
