Attached is a photo of the mirror that is on my Father's 1960 Impala. It is not the correct one. He wants to put a matching mirror on the passenger side, but needs to know exactly what is on the drivers side. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom Laferriere

Tom, I'm pretty sure that's an aftermarket Roberk mirror. If not then it's very similar to one they sold. I remember that little forward fin particularly.

The factory mirror for 1960 Chevys is widely reproduced and quite reasonable to buy. I have a 1960 Buick, which is the same mirror with "BUICK' instead of a bowtie on it, and I bought a gasket from Lutty's Chevrolet Parts for it. (Nobody else sold the gasket separately.) As I recall a complete miror kit (for one side) was something like $35-$40 then.

You should see what good copies of the (non-reproduced) Buick mirror cost! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I'd be willing to bet that if you took the mirror off the car and flipped it over, next to a casting number will be the Ford logo. My 54 Kaiser had one of these mirrors mounted on it when I bought it. Knowing it was incorrect, I removed it and when I looked it over, I found that it was made for Ford. I'm not sure what year Fords used it...probably late 50s or early 60s as the guy I got the car from said he bought it used in the early 60s and the mirror was on the car then. Hope this helps!
