ronvb Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I have had this mirror so long on the shelf that I can't remember what it came off of?I am thinking 62 Oldsmobile or early 60's Pontiac?Look familiar anyone?Thanks,ronvbenginemaster68@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starfireelvis Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Not from a '62 Olds (the backs had ridges that ran from top to bottom). I do recall the concentric circles being on mirrors for mid-'60s Oldsmobiles, like my Dad's '65 Starfire. Don't have a Fusick's manual at my fingertips before bedtime, but I'm pretty sure this is for a full-size mid-'60s Olds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronvb Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 Starfireelvis,I never had a full size 65 olds but did have a 65 442?Keep picturing this from 62 cutlass f-85 or 60 Pontiac Bonneville I once had?If you find anything else out post it-ok?Thanks for reply,ronvb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Yaros Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Well, I guess we have a difference of opinion here, as it sure looks like a 62 Olds mirror to me. I say that based on the fact it sure looks like mine. 63 also used a similar mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I think the 1962 F85 mirror back had concentric circles. FSC had the vertical ribs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldsfan Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 The mirror Fusick sells for '61 and '62 full size cars has the vertical grooves. '63 to '66 mirrors have the concentric rings. They don't offer a mirror for '61 or '62 F-85 models, but their '63 to '66 F-85 mirrors have the rings. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldsfan Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Also... Dave, I noticed your car has mirrors on both sides. The driver's side mirror was optional on your car, and the passenger's side mirror was never available. I'm thinking maybe someone added mirrors after your car was purchased.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronvb Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Wow somebody make up my mind!? I saw a close up pic yesterday of a 65 Delta 88 yesterday and the mirror looked identical.But like you guys say who knows what mirror was installed by someone else as a matter of looks or preference?I do not even see a parts # on it.But I wish there was a better way to narrow it down.Thanks for replies,I welcome even more info.This forum is the best!ronvb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starfireelvis Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I concur with what Oldsnut Paul said (that's a compliment!); the '61 and '62 full-size models have the vertical ridges, and the later ones he cited from the mid-'60s have the concentric circles. Do not know about interchangeability with other GM makes and models (if any). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The phrase "vertical ridges" does not click with me when it comes to the mirror. I shall go to Fusick and see if it has a pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also saves me the trouble of going out and having to look at my car to see if my mirror has the vertical lines or concentric circles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed burke Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Sure looks like the mirror that is on my 1965 olds 88 holiday hdtp and it looks like the mirror on my 1965 starfire also but it is a remote with a diffeerent stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
