Mirrors

Post by D.Trotter » Sun Aug 04, 2019 6:18 pm

Anyone have any suggestions for exterior rear view mirrors for a '26 Tudor? I feel kind of blind without them! Thanks in advance.

Don Lang has a hinge pin mirror for sedans.

Dale, the hinge pin mirrors stocked by the vendors will do the job, but you need to be comfortable with Phillips head screws and stainless steel heads. I was able to find some 60's mirror heads to replace the stainless ones which were on my car. They look much more at home.

Thanks to you both, I'll check them out. I have also seen some that clamp over the door edge but don't know much about them.

The "clamp over the door edge" type are generally a later style. Mostly '40s and '50s. I have seen a couple real early ones, but not many.
