Strato-vue mirror for my 64 Avanti

[steve remick]

Is there a difference in the right and left Strato-Vue mirror. The catalog has a different part number for the right mirror.

The difference for the repop mirrors sold by Studebaker International is the right side is convex...they make the T-Rex chasing you appear farther away than it actually is. It's just a modern mirror following DOT regulations.

Thanks Gunslinger, the older mirrors were not that way, right?

[Gunslinger]

No...the DOT regulation went into effect much later. The same mirror was used for both sides during the Studebaker years...as were mirrors used by other car makers unless there was something different about their design to make them side-specific.
