Sport Mirrors on a 68 Cutlass S?
Will the 70 or 71 Outer Sport mirrors work on a 68?

I tried searching around and didn't find the info anywhere.

Thanks
Bryan

No, the body lines are different for '68 & '69, and mounting them will put them in an odd position, and will more than likely cause them to hit the windows.

Even if you could get them mounted at the correct angle, the vent windows would hit them.

Thank you for the help guys, a friend was suggesting the later mirrors and I was questioning if they'd work.

I appreciate it.

'73 Omega mirrors will work if you put them back to clear the vent windows.

Maybe the 69 Hurst Olds mirrors would fit? Don't know about clearing the wing windows though.



The Manual chrome mirrors also look good IMO

No, they won't clear the vent windows, at least not in the stock location. You can move them back. There are a bazillion aftermarket "sport" mirrors.
