<VV> And the correct mirror is??

[J R Read_HML]

Mark,  I have no way to verify this but it has been my impression that on 
the '65 mirrors the entire head moved rather than just the mirror glass.  As 
you say, some items were dealer install so things may have ended up on wrong 
year cars.

Regardless of what I just said above, my car (a '65 Monza) has the remote 
mirror listed on the body tag - well Group 4 - letter F - which includes the 
remote mirror along with other items.  The mirror on my car is (what I 
believe to be) the later style where only the glass moves, not the entire 
head.

So, was letter F a dealer install option?  If so, was the wrong mirror used? 
Did the car have the "correct ?" 65 mirror originally and it was replaced 
for some reason or other?  Don't know and don't think I ever will.  My best 
guess is that letter F was installed at Fisher Body rather than the dealer, 
since it also included inside day-night mirror and 2 speed washer/wiper.

Later, JR
