I think all cars have those mirrors, actually.  At least all cars I've
owned had them (okay, that's a small sample - and I didn't know the van had
one until reading a post above).

My theory was always that it was a sexist item, assuming women were the
passengers, and that women wanted to look at themselves in the mirror.
