    My ride needs a sideview mirror, something cool and period correct.
    Post some pics if you have any, I need some ideas.
    Thanks, Mike.

  3. Sorry for not having a picture. But, just last weekend I saw a beautiful, Swan neck looking mirror on a 57 Olds. The owner told me it was from an early 60's Studebaker Avante. It's worth loooking for. BTW, nice car. Can I see more pics?

    I have one of those thermometer mirrors like Sawzall posted, the first kind with the round guage. Mine's missing the actual thermometer and would need to be rechromed but the clock/watch insert is a really cool idea. I'd sell it if someone could use it, say $25?

    As requested here are a couple of pics of the car.
    I will do a search for the Avante mirror, thanks.
    Anyone else got pics?

    I know, you didn't ask.....but i gotta say no mirror IF it's legal where you are..
    Just look's sooo clean without it..
    Yes, pain in the ass i know. I still have no outside mirror's on my 53 either...
    I have just never found anything that look's as good as nothing at all..

    And i've said it before, nice Chevy.

    $75. Google Studebaker Avante mirror. If you like it, your car is certainly worth the expense

    Avanti (and other Studebaker mirrors & accessories) are available at Studebaker Inernational.

  13. To keep it clean, can you mount a small convex mirror on the a-pillar just inside the car.....kinda like the NASCAR boys do?!?!
