'65 Visor Vanity Mirror - Ever Seen One?
My '65 Coupe has a visor vanity mirror, about 3 1/2" x 8" in size, which I assume was installed as a dealer installed accessory. It was in the car when I bought it in 1975, and is attached to the visor with the same type of mounting screw as attaches the visor hinges, you know those funny looking screws. It has the "Chevrolet" 'script at the bottom of the mirror, and the mirror is mounted in a stainless or chrome frame which shows only at the edge of the mirror.
I have owned mid-years since 1967 and have attended numerous Vette shows and swap meets over the years (Bloomington, Knoxville, etc.), and in looking at numerous cars there and at other shows, have not seen this mirror on another Corvette. Also talked with Marty Fowler, one of the mid-year Bloomington judges who lives near here, and he was unfamiliar with this item.
I'm sure it must be a dealer installed item, just wondering if anyone had any info on it, or had seen a similar item over the years. Just an item of curiosity . . . .
Thanks for any information.
Should anyone be interested, I'll try and post a photo in the future.
