Both my '73 and '71 have crummy rubber adjustable side mirrors. what did the originals look like. I have seen pictures with round and rectangle and although both of my cars have (2) mirrors, I think the originals only had (1)

While on the subject of mirrors...
My passenger side is like a magnifying glass. It is almost unusable. Most mirrors say "objects may be closer..." mine should say ..."Objects appear closer...". Are there two styles of mirror? |

If you decide to switch it out, don't use a flat blade screwdriver to remove the plastic ring. It damages the edge of the stainless steel but do lube up the spring and nut located behind the mirror, under the base and all the pivot points on the arm. |
