Kartman01 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Folks: The mirror in my 1950 Buick Super has become cloudy and simply looks bad. It is a day/night mirror and has the words 'Guide Glare-Proof' on the adjuster tab at the bottom of the mirror. The dimensions of the mirror are 7 3/16" x 2 3/4". I looked at the interior rearview mirrors on Old Buick Parts for '1950 Super', but all of the ones that pop up look significantly wider. When doing a Google search for '1950 Buick Super inside rearview mirror' a broad array of mirrors pop up (none, unfortunately, that look like the mirror in my car!) Does anyone know if there is a reproduction of the mirror I have in my car offered by anyone? Is there a part number for this mirror I can use to help narrow the search options? Photos are attached for reference. Thanks in advance for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Stoneberg Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 If I remember correctly, the mirror comes apart and you can either re silver the omirror or just replace it. I had that done 20 years ago as I could not find a good reproduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartman01 Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 Thanks Bill, I will take a look and see if there is a way to fix the mirror. I have never done this before… are there shops that specialize in restoring mirrors? Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Stoneberg Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) Yes, normally they do antiques but a mirror is a mirror to them. You have to make sure that they can do day/night mirrors though as the glass is tapered.
