Hey OPPO’s! Who made cars with dash mounted rear view mirrors? I’ve got a new desk at my new job at work and I want a cool mirror so I can see who the F keeps sneaking up on me!

Yes I know I could flip over almost any other mirror, but the idea of a rear view that was originally dash mounted just sounds cool.

Hit me with some ideas! Thanks OPPO!

My old Alfa did. Mine never looked this good though.

That was my first thought.

Why am I afraid those cost a fortune?

They probably cost a fortune.....

I can say that the first gen T-Bird that’s on display over my shoulder does not have one lol

I knew corvette’s did too, just curious if there’s something quirky/weird I could find that had a story behind it.

Austin Healey did it.

You could also just bolt an old-style fender mirror to the edge of your desk.

yeah a quick google just told me around 50 for the base and then a bit over 50 for the glass

I’m not dropping 100 bucks on a desk mirror.

I was going to say Avanti, but it’s really just a low-mounted windshield mount. But it does have a sweet built-in makeup drawer/vanity, soooo that’s a dash mounted mirror... technically.

The Saab one is an interesting idea.

You might be able to get a repop for not too much. They seem to make everything for old Vettes.
