    Hi fellow Ford fans, I'm looking for a decent looking and no chopping up the window trim day/night rear view mirror for my 56 Fairlane Victoria. I have a good condition stock mirror that is a nice small size but it cannot take care of the headlight glare of those High Intensity Zenon Double Whammy bulbs everyone seems to have these days. Anyone found one that fits?

    Thanks.

    Bob

    No modifications required. One size fits all. AAA, DOT, NRA, H.A.M.B. and AARP approved...

    Right you are, and they are duals yet. I was looking for AARP approved but forgot to include that in my first post. Thanks missysdad1 for your guidance.

    Naw, man, not the mirrors, the sungl***es. Keep your stock mirror and wear the sungl***es... :cool:

    Seriously, here's what you need...'47 - '53 Chevy/GMC truck repro day/night mirror. Around $50 on eBay.

    You'd have to do some adapting of the mounting stalk to your own base, but it's got the vintage look and the size that would be perfect for your Ford.

    And, you'd not have to wear sungl***es at night any more. Big plus... ;)



    Edit: Here's the FoMoCo '55 day/night for comparison:

    It's only $349 on eBay... :eek::eek::eek:

    Here's the '49-'52 Ford day/night repro on eBay as well: It's only $39. :p

    Thanks for the help. Yes decisions now, I ***umed it would be a junkyard scrounge operation. Goodbye sungl***es.
