Original Style Passenger Mirror 1970 Cutlass
Hey Guys: I have a chrome driver's side remote mirror on my Cutlass, see attached photo. In looking at the 1970 owners manual I see an image of the mirror (see second photo) that seems to match mine.
I would like to get a passenger's mirror, but I cannot find one that matches the driver's one I have aywhere.
The thing is I have never seen one of these on any other car, so I wonder if it is in fact the original mirror for the car.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks, Peter

Now as far as getting one for the passenger side? Sorry, you're out of luck. The chrome one for the passenger side was not remote so it doesn't have the deep dish like the drivers side. Also in the 60's and early 70's it was 'uncommon' to have a right hand mirror. The ones the factory made were options and were fairly basic. You can get the repro chrome mirror for your car from most aftermarket suppliers.
PS the only mirrors that came with 'both' sides was the sport mirrors. If your car had come with them in 70? They are rare since they were a 1 year only item. They had a special pod design.

Hey Allan - thanks for the quick reply. My buildsheet confirms that the car was not ordered with the sport mirrors.
I really need the second mirror (bad back), so I guess I will have to get the one that does not match, or go with the repro sporty ones(I hate to leave the original one off).
Thanks again, Peter
