This mirror looks like the mirror that came standard on my '70 Cutlass SX, I am not sure about the control **** though. Can any of you resident experts properly identify which models and years this mirror was available on? I would like to list it for sale, but want to ensure that it is not misidentified. Thanks for sharing your infinite rocket wisdom!

 

I think that is a late 60s-early '70s big car mirror(Delta, 98) because of the ****? The Cutlass **** is different.

 

Mirror was an option on 70-72 Cutlass models, and also was available on B/C cars as well. It's listed as the D33 Remote mirror. Drivers side only. LOL - listed price in 72 was 12.00

Yours appears to be in nice shape with no pitting.

 

Well, I have received responses both supporting and against Cutlass application for this mirror from seasoned C/Oers. I have included an up close pic of the control joystick. Are there any more inputs, perhaps from those that have this mirror factory installed on their A body? Thanks again.

 

Is there a part number on it? Maybe on the bottom of the mounting base. I do not think it is correct for 70 Cutlass, not sure if 71/72 are different.

That is a good idea, the numbers casted into the base are: 399519 and another group : 60309401. Perhaps someone can decipher it.

 

No luck here. Looks like someone has been down this road before.

Well, well well! Look at that, thank you Don for noticing that. Perhaps mine is correct for 68-69?

 

Reason I said it was an option for 71/72 is it's listed in the 72 SPECS booklet, and I had a 72 Cutlass (built in 71 for the 72 year) that had one of these mirrors. It looked like the one in your picture.

 

Allan,
I think the mirrors might be the same or very similar but the **** or joystick looks different for the '70-'72 years. Here is at least one from a '69, I try to label all the parts I pull anymore, but the other two are not marked, so I'm not sure where they came from. I know the '70-'72 **** looks different on the sport mirrors & I thought on the chrome ones also?

I remember taking the door panel off my 72 one time, and that cable was a PITA at the time because I didn't know what I do now. Anyway, the one you're holding in the second pic and the one to the immediate left were exactly the type of barrel that was on my 72. There should be a small allen screw(s) holding it to the door escutcheon IIRC?? The adjustment **** on all of them looks pretty much the same. I doubt Olds would re-engineer the wheel for something like this. (LOL knock on wood..)

 

Here are a couple better pix of the ****. They screw into the part that holds the cables.

Thank You Packrat, man those ***** look like they have been marinating in ocean water!! I appreciate all of the insight to correctly list this item from all of the posters.

 

Part #399519 is the optional ‘68-69 Cutlass remote mirror assembly. I cannot state whether it also fits '70, but can say for sure it will not fit a 71-72. The rest of this post is just for the record.

The 68-69 A Series (Cutlass and derivatives) models could come with two mirror assemblies – The #399519 (Jervis) and #400131 (Nelmor). The assembly consists of the base (where the part number is found underneath), the mirror enclosure, the cable, the ****, and possibly the bezel.

I removed a #399519 (Jervis) from my 1969 Cutlass and replaced with a NOS #403964 (Nelmor). The 403964 is not listed in the Assembly manual or any parts books that I could find, but it is an identical match for the 399519 with the exception that it had a Nelmor ****. I can only assume it was a later replacement part number for the 400131.

On my examples (different years and big car vs small car may vary), the Jervis **** was thicker, and had a smooth base into which the **** and cables attach, whereas the Nelmor **** was thinner, had a longer taper, and had exposed springs in the base. Be aware that the interior bezel/escutcheon and retaining clip is different between the Jervis and Nelmor *****, and the usual Olds parts houses do not specify which they are selling.

I am attaching some pics of the 1969 Assembly Manual showing these items for reference. You can also see examples of the different style ***** and bezels in Oldspackrat’s pictures above.

The angle of the base and mounting gasket is different between the 68/69 and 71/72 (again, I do not know about a ’70). You will know quickly if you have the wrong one because the 71/72 version will hit the window if installed on a 68/69 car (I speak from experience, unfortunately). If you hold the actual mirror enclosures from a 68/69 version against the 71/72 version, they seem to be identical in shape and would probably be interchangeable once you remove it from the base. The mirror can come out by removing a small set screw behind the mirror, and the enclosure can come off the base with a few screws.

 

WOW! Thanks Texas69, that is some very in depth education on these mirrors! I can't imagine where you would source info like that. I really appreciate your taking the time to share it though.

 

The mirror on my 70 is different than the one in the original post. I believe it to be original to the car.
Like Funkwagon455 said... Thanks for the detailed answer.
