I found that I really missed having some side mirrors, people were sneaking up beside me in traffic since I can't turn my head very well (long ago car wreck). So I looked at other cars that had added mirrors of the same general vintage, and pictures, and then found some in the online Summit site that looked fairly period correct. Got the better quality chrome finish (important to complement the spotless appearance of the rest of the car of course), convex for the pax side (objects in mirror are closer than they appear) and then stuck them on the car with duct tape in various spots until I was satisfied with the placement.

Once I got them mounted, off I went into city traffic for a spin to test them. While they obvously don't give the view of the big mirrors on my pickup, I can at least keep tabs on my sides again now. So they get a thumbs up, $100 well spent in my opinion.
