Title: Proto mirrors
Post by: rod67ss on May 07, 2007, 03:40:13 PM

On page 20 of Miller's Camaro book and in the storyboard drawing that I posted http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=2007.0
unusual bullet shaped side mirrors are shown. Does anyone know anything about these? Were they ever produced by GM or the aftermarket?

Thanks!

Rod

Don't know about the aftermarket, but GM never offered them; you'll see lots of things on advertising illustrations that never existed.

They look to be Talbot mirrors. Very popular in the 50's and 60's.
