Interior mirror 68
« on: June 10, 2014, 06:35:55 PM »
I have been shown a few different looking mirrors for my 68 and I am not sure which would be assembly line correct. Could someone point me in the right direction and please post pic

Thanks

June is right around the time they changed from side to side to flip tab front to back. I would be fine with either but if I was choosing I would go with the front to back
especially if later June

My 1968 coupe was built at Dearborn on June 3rd.  It has the front-to-back flip tab.

It might be a nice library resource if we could include 64 1/2 - 66.
