I think all the OE type 3 mirrors were flat. I don't think the use of 
concave mirrors started until later in the 70s.

I still find the RHS mirror on our 96 Taurus to be useless because 
everything looks much too far away. After trusting them a couple of 
times and accidentally cutting off some innocent driver on my 
passenger side, I have fallen back on the center mirror. The tiny 
writing on the RHS mirror that says "OBJECTS IN MIRROR MAY 
BE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR" really doesn't help anything 
other than Ford's liability.
