I didn't know if they fluttered or not. They don't on the car u rode in so then they don't.

However, i always had trouble seeing with side view mirrors that were mounted out on the fender or any more than 2 feet away from my head unless the mirrir head was exceptionaly large. Many MoPar products of the 60's thru 70's had mirrors mounted out on the fender tops. Also hard to adjust from sitting the drivers seat while driving.

I like the hinge mounted mirror on your car. But the complaint u had about not seeing puddle jumpers near the rear bumper is a problem i've had in nearly all of my vehicles modern and antique except maybe pick-ups and vans with the very large mirrors. Especialy like the Packard script on it too.

The hinge mount mirror on your car appears to have SS arm and mount at the hinge with chrome mirror head????
