That’s really strange. I would have never thought that.

Something new to keep an eye out on when at car shows etc.
Its funny how certain items, like the details of overspray on an engine, get lots of interest, while other items like the mirrors or wipers - which many more people see, get overlooked.
Here's the post about the day-night button. Review Mirror Variations?
Another little mystery.

Yes. I don't think mine can. The exterior tapers in a slightly bullet shape. Here's a better view of one from ebay that's similar to mine.
Dang Tim! How long is the stem? That top is definately the same style as my '67! Only difference is the chromed vs the brushed finish.

That’s why I said I think all the ‘67 ones are the same. ‘69 May have different part numbers depending on how they are assembled.

I think that’s a ‘69 replacement mirror.
It makes sense to use the tooling available. I would have ythought stylisticly they would want to keep updating the whole line with a the new look, but maybe the production side folks decided otherwise.

It’s actually clever to make them reversible since the other side of the stem has a different look with a center groove vs. solid. This way, they get a different look depending on how it’s assembled but both use all the same parts.
About 4 inches.
The one on my car is MoPar.
As is mine, and mine is definately the '67 only mirror. So it seems some cars got pushbutton in '67 (maybe early production?) and others got the side to side even though the parts book list one part number. Interesting.
That makes sense. It looks more like Dave's. The one in the photo seems to have the tapering more like '67 - I wonder if it has the center groove ?
Thanks for the offer - My recollection is those are noticibly different. Hopefully this one from Ontario will work out. A few less people run over makes people happy. Cones are always safe because I push the mirror up and out of the way. That won't be appreciated when sharing the track.
Mine has the center groove.

Mine has the center groove on the back side. Front side is solid. Same parts assembled differently.
Yes and it is placed backwards!
Mine groove on the front!
The one in the photo, that's the repop from 'OE - Classic

I might have seen that back in 2015 and it got me scratching my head. The stem has the same design as my '67 - which I like - but it also looks to be just as long- which does me no good. With everything we've shared tonight I'm pretty sure that repop isn't exactly correct for any year, although I'm sure it will work fine. [for someone, but not me]

I see what you're saying. I agree, in that photo the mirror is set up for a 'vert, even though the viser clips are facing inward.

Now I'm going to be looking at '68s just to see if its correct for anything. lol
based onthe p/n it looks like it that's what its supposed to be - a '68
