Body / Glass: '60 Lark VI four-door: Are there stock-looking side view mirrors that upgrade the originals?

[drpreposterous]

Just bought a '60 Lark VI that is ivory in color and four doors. I love the round side view mirror appearance, but they don't do much for actual safety at that 3-4" diameter. Does anyone know of an upgrade that wouldn't detract from the appearance?

Thanks

The only thing I have seen to the original style mirrors is what Studebaker International now offers for the right side. It has a wider view lens like modern cars (convex?) & may have the warning on it "things may be closer than they appear". I personally havent seen one yet. Any other changes made such as size wouldnt give the same appearance & would detract (IMPO). Although they may be smaller compared to cars made today, I have never felt "unsafe" driving with them. Remember too, that when these were built, the outside mirrors were an option.

I put these on my 63 Daytona - look and work great, and the price is right.

If you can deal with non stock, 69 chevelle mirrors are non denominitaional and can be had on e bay at times a bout 40.00 pr. Nice looking mirrors. They look very good on 59- 60 Larks. jimmijim

Thanks, guys! Both of these look like great solutions!

Forgot to mention, while these have the look of the Stude mirrors, they are more adjustable so you can actually use them to see behind you!

My 8 car has the mirror on the door- terrible to use. My 6 car has it mounted on the fender- way better. I imagine the door mount is "proper stock" but when I repaint the 8 car it too will have a fender mounted mirror.
