Re: [T3] Day/Night Mirror


By twist-on I mean that in order to remove the mirror you twist it clockwise
(or counter-clockwise, I forget which.)  It mounts on a base that mates with
and clamps the mirror stem.  To replace the mirror (or put a newer mirror in
it's place) you twist the mirror onto this base until it 'locks' into place.
Judging by your 361 part # I'm willing to bet you have a squareback mirror
and judging by the ivory stem I'd say it's a 68 or later.  Judging by the
experience of others who say that 68 had no day/night function I'd say yours
is the 69 model.  It all makes sense to me...In 66 when the fresh air knobs
and various trim bits went to chrome instead of ivory the mirror was changed
to match.  It stayed this way (according to my theory) until 68.  In 68 the
seat belts had an ivory covering over them and the chrome dash bits were
gone.  If the chrome mirror stayed it wouldn't match!

And so the story goes.
