I'm referring to the standard day night not the 3 way. How wide is it? Can anyone provide pics of the front & rear? What years interchange?
Thanks, Bob

hey Bob, as long as on the topic, is it possible to restore an eldorado 3 way mirror? I have always wondered. Iknow GM had a special process for assembling many items, but that mirror just has two rivets . Dave V.

I have a 60 CDV with this mirror. Just looked on McVey's website which lists the same mirror for 57 thru 64. Not sure what your goal is. Are you replacing, or repairing?

Dave,
An article was  written about restoring one years ago. I don't remember where or when.
Michael,
Those vendors use the one size fits all mentality. I have a mirror marked 58. No box. I'm trying to ID it.
I'd really like to get info from an 58 owner with an original mirror.
Thanks, Bob

I got nice repro one from OPGI.
I have the original, the mirror is a little messed up, but can measure/picture if needed?
Not sure what rear inside mirror you're referring to?   
I'd have to look in the interchange manual.   Not sure mirrors are covered.

Bob - The mirror is 10” wide by 2 1/4” height at widest point.  Attached are pictures but it is hard to get the backside of the mirror.  Hope this helps.
