Re: Looking for a picture of rear view mirror

Factory day/night in my '64. Mirror head is upside down 'cause I'm tall and it blocks my view the right way.

So I'm not the only one. My current '65 never had one and I've really gotten used to it; most rear view mirrors get in my line-of-sight with the road. Especially car mirrors.

If I drive a car, I have to duck to see below the mirror, and if I ride in the back, my head hits the roof; can't win for losing.

But that's why I don't drive a POS late model car I guess.

Re: Looking for a picture of rear view mirror

Not to mention with the small back window, it has to hang low to to be able to see any distance behind you.

Re: Looking for a picture of rear view mirror

If you look back at the pic of my mirror you will notice my visor pad doesn't clear the mirror. It's an old pad of unknown origin that I put on my stock rod just for looks since I'm too tall for the visor too. It's a matter of finding something that works, or going original.

Re: Looking for a picture of rear view mirror

Adding fuel to the fire, there were two rear view mirrors optioned. Standard and Non Glare. 1963 Chevrolet had a flared knob that you twisted to activate the glare- non glare feature. 1964 had a flipper style. I have seen the flared and flipper style in original boxes sharing the same part number.
