Re: {Chrysler 300} 60-62 Chrysler New Reproduction Mirror at Vans Auto

I ask as my ’62 mirrors look like this one….

NOS Mopar Inside Day Nite Rear View Mirror 1962-5 Plymouth Dodge Chrysler

hiltopautoparts.com

With the DAY NIGHT black plastic push switch buttons on the base of the mirror.

I don’t have any with the Toggle version to switch from Day to Night.

I’m not certain which was the version sold with the cars when ordered with those mirrors?

Thanks!

Hi Charlie,

That's what I though at first as well, but look carefully at the photo on a large screen (or enlarge the image) and you'll see that the "Day/Night" does appear to be on the mirror.
I think that the highly reflective nature of the mirror makes this difficult to photograph, and so it appears very faint.
On the old mirrors the silver backing may become oxidized and damaged; they will only clean up so far.

It looks very nice although it is missing the Day/Night just above the lever.
I will probably buy two.
From the age of my mirrors, when I look at mine it looks like its misty/foggy behind me. No, it's not my old eyes.

FYI only. New reproduction part. Day/Night mirror for 1960-62 Chrysler at Vans Auto.
I saw this on Facebook, said it will be available for shipping the first week of March.
Looks correct to me.
I didn't see it listed at Murray's or anywhere else.
The original stems are always corroded and NOS is difficult to find/expensive.

I've got a couple on order.
