Ha! Yeah I was trying not to jump in here until the right time. I have documented on 1961s there are two types of mirrors. There is what I call the “silver lever” like the Van’s reproduction. Then there is what I call the “black button” like the NOS at hiltop. Haven’t found any correlation in terms of build dates. Must have been two different suppliers which could have been installed at any time during production. Either would be correct for judging. For ‘61 anyway.

Is that the correct Day/Night Mirror style, being offered by Vans? I ask as my ’62 mirrors look like this one….
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.
