What is AC 3180 L on a 63 Hawk ??

[starlightchamp]

My factory order shows my 63 GT came with AC 3180 L. I can't find this
liated in any of my manuals. Anyone know what it is ??
Thanks,

3180 is a Strato-vue mirror. My guess is the "L" means left (driver's) side.

Mr. Biggs,
Gee, a "Strato-vue" mirrow- sounds like something really special-wonder what mirror you got if one didn't order this $8.00 option.
BTW I was glad to find , in an earlier thread, your interest in old timer model planes. I built an 80" span Quaker from the original 1938 plans. It is RC, rudder and elevators, and powered by an Astro 40 geared and running from 18, 1800 NiCd cells. Still flying it occasionally. If your interested in the model I can send the plans.
Thank you for clearing up the accessory mystery.

You wouldn't get ANY mirror...unless the dealer installed one and charged you for it. The dealer might install a Strato-vue or some other Studebaker mirror OR they might install one they sourced locally.

I'm not sure when each state started requiring a driver's side outside mirror...probably most after 1963, however.
