History Side-mirrors on 50s customs?

^^^ Well that goes along with Radials,tilt columns, center counsels etc. Certain mirrors fall right into that.

 

How about the NuVue spot/mirror. Anyone run those? Like/dislike? Probably only work on some 50s cars though

 

take a look at '49-'51 Ford/Mercury outside mirrors - good shape, not oversize

 

That's what I intend to use on my '49 Shoebox or I've seen Talbot bullet shaped mirrors used and it looked cool.

 

Although this is not a traditional mirror by any means it is a good functioning mirror on a working kustom.

**unique ride to say the least - a round mirror might look better.

 

though ive seldom driven my truck and as of now it is by no means a kustom, I have put a ton of thought into mirrors, I have some very nice chrome original mirrors that came with the truck, when I bolted them on, they looked ugly as*****. so I now have a small peep mirror on my door. it adjusts practically anywhere and looks kinda ok. you just gotta get the right one, and mount it correctly.

and when I see anything not period on a so called 'custom', I don't even bother stopping to look at it. it ruins the look of a car soooo much, along with new wheels, headlights, and interiors. all 80's kustom stuff. I cant stand it
