The other day we had an unfortunate accident resulting in the driver side mirror was broken on my ‘71 Cutlass. I am looking for a replacement and I found a ‘68 mirror for a good price. I was wondering what exactly is the difference and would the ‘68 mirror work on my car?
Thanks in advance!

 

The angle where it fits against the door is different so it won't fit correctly. Is this a remote or non-remote mirror?

 

Non remote

 

Those are reproduced if you can't find a good used one. Here's a link to a repop'ed one.
