'66 Rear View mirror (interior)

[cbrunken]

My wagon did not have a interior rear view mirror when I bought it. All I know is it was a windshield mounted mirror. I'm trying to go with an OE mirror. Can someone post or text a pic of what I should be looking for? I'm sure this has been talked about in the past, but I'm not having any luck finding. Thanks

There is a thread around that talks about all the quirks of 66's. Here is a picture of the rear view mirror in my 66, it is mounted to the windshield frame, I think there were some different types used during 66.

Thanks for sending the '66 thread. I'd still appreciate seeing a pic or 2 of a windshield mounted '66 mirror. I read all the mirror posts. I didn't see any pics, but someone referenced a '64 T bird mirror.

How do you know it was originally a window mounted mirror and not a windshield frame mounted one?

I bought the wagon from the original owner. They told me it was windshield mounted. Also, there are no holes in the window frame. From the research I've done, windshield mounted was one of the ways the mirror was done in 1966.

That's correct it was, just not very common. I was just wondering if you had an original owner or something to confirm. What's your build date?

I was a April 1966 build.
