I'm looking for a NOS rearview mirror. Does anyone have a NOS rearview mirror like the one in this eBay auction? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/66-G...emQQcategoryZ10076QQihZ018QQitemZ280073512548 Part # ??????? Are these being reproduced? I have the same one on my '65 Skylark... Let me know if you have one!
You may be correct that they were painted. I am not up on 65 Larks. But the ones on say Olds ( we have a 66 442 ) or Chevelles of the same time frame were not painted silver. They were plated or stainless steel and that type is remade as follow: http://www.chevelle.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=54_171 The one you show looks like a base model without a day/night feature. It it was the same as an Olds mirror of he same era I would say someone spray painted the backside because the plating failed.
