sftamx1 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 My '33 convertible coupe has poor rear visibility with the top up. Any suggestions on where to find a useful and period correct looking outside mirror? Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Most are going to look goofy. Jay Leno recommends the dollar store suction cup mirrors that you can put on and off. Not sure on your car where those would go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe have to fab a bracket so it would sit correctly but theres a lot of flat area on the side of the cowell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander Wildeisen Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Tow mirrors from a 77 Ford F-250. The ones with the tripod mounting brackets. If you want to be able to see what is behind you. Going with the small round period correct mirrors. You will only be able to see on the drivers side. With very little hope in seeing the one on the passenger side. Early cars are horrible to mount side mirrors on. Most don’t look good, and really do not work that great. I like the oval mirror, swan neck style. Not correct, a modern street rod mirror. But I think it looks the best. And the oval shape gets farther out. To get around the body. That car sure looks good with out mirrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodneybeauchamp Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Reverse camera could be an option and stowed away at shows etc. Looks nice without them. JMTBW Rodney 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepher Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Back in the 70's my Dad picked up an outside mirror that goes on a 60's VW and clamped that onto the door of our Rickenbacker. Been there ever since. Very similar to this one but with a clamp mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
