 And the price is pretty good also.

Part "barn find." (Re: Correct Rearview mirror available.)

Dear Loren, Jim, and detail ordered mid-60s Buick caregivers,

I came across this today while looking over Facebook. The correct rearview mirrors are now being reproduced. Both the standard mirror and the Day/Night mirror. I never thought of looking at a Nova sight for these.
. . . .

Thanks Loren for sharing your discovery!  It is a mixed blessing that our beloved Buicks share so many parts with the rest of the GM line at the time.  Nonetheless when you find a part like this, it is kind of like a "barn find" for the reproduction parts world.

I got one ordered, I need another one but the guy sent me a discount offer but only good for one mirror. I will get the other one ordered later. Looking forward to seeing the mirror!

Dunno how you do it, Loren.

Truffle Hog!  :icon_biggrin:

Pretty crazy that they replicated the lettering and all.
And they didn't misspell it to avoid copyright.  :evil6:

At that price, there's a chance you might see some quality issues.

Jim,
Please let us know what you think when you see it in real life.

My mirror came today and it looks good. When it warms up I will try to put it in the car.
