Good Morning, Posted about this a few weeks ago.  Some of the posts asked when I came up with a solution, let folks know.  I absolutely did not want to drill a pristine door so.......See picture.  That's a 4" convex baby mirror. Believe it or not I can see if a car is in my blind spot pretty well.  As I'm blind in my right eye the blind spot on that side is pretty big. Just hope I never run into a Police Officer who is having a bad day. I'm required to have a right "outside" mirror.  :o Have  great day.
I would rather push an old Cadillac, than drive a new anything:-)

As a retired Police Officer, I am afraid that an inside mirror will not qualify, or pass as an outside mirror, no matter where it is.

BUT, I cannot see where it would be a requirement anywhere within USA as these vehicles were not fitted with these mirrors as standard, and 1967 is outside the 1968 or '69 Federal requirements, if that is when they came into law.

Here in Australia, it was 1969 that the Australian Design Rules came into effect, and any LHD car has to have an outside mirror on the Right side, no matter what age it is.  It is a safety thing.

Hi, My drivers license has the restriction on it.  I'm not allowed to drive a car without one.  Thank you for your service.  :)

They never made one.

You can try to epoxy one on. There are several aftermarket mirrors and you should be able to get a round one similar to your left side one.

Glue it on real good and it can eventually be removed. Might have to have door repainted, but at least there will be no holes on the door.
