My old man owns the Fleetline pictured below, have only had it over here for a few months now and he absolutely loves it! We've 12v converted it amongst other things and since the pics were taken I have lowered it for him aswell. The only thing he now wants to get sorted before a full year of driving is some quality, good looking mirrors that he can see out of. He likes the high level peep style but doesn't want to remove the chrome door trims. Does anybody have any suggestions, pics of different styles? Just looking for some reccomendations as I haven't found any over here sofar.
So you can't see out of the rear view mirrors he has on there? Hardest to find will be a right hand mirror that is usable.

[/QUOTE] sorry to say this, but i don't think you will ever find any. i recommend you ship that fleetline to me. haha. that is a really nice car, clean and simple. i love it! like they said ^^ chevs of the 40's, or national chevy will probably be your best bet.
I think they make a rectangular mirror that clamps onto the door edge. The shape should give more vision area. Found this one at Nightprowlers Kustom, Lamar, MO..... $18 each. http://www.thenightprowlers.com/night_prowlers_inventory_page.htm
The current mirrors on the car are pretty near useless and the passenger side is purely there to give a bit of symmetry. We would like to have something useable on both sides but we shall see what we can find, I am liking the idea of working from the vent window shade, thanks for the input. P.S Given the stresses and agro involved in buying a car unseen from several thousand miles away rest assured we will not be parting with it anytime soon!
