There was one on my 70 when I bought it, it’s not factory for sure, it is electric and honestly to me it looks very similar to the mirror that was on my 76. I’m pretty sure the mirror changed from 70 to 71 so not sure what your mirror looks like but here is the only picture I have which shows both, if you zoom in you can get a better view. I’m in a Facebook group and a guy is working on making a rt side match not sure what the cost will end up. I have seen a couple original Ford rt side mirrors but the price was way more than what I would pay even though I want a matched set.

. I’m also looking for a frt plate bracket, apparently every one took them off.

I have a '70 Landau Sedan and would LOVE a passenger side mirror.

Any chance you have more info on if/when this will happen?

I would commit to buying one for sure!

The person on the Facebook group is getting much closer to a finished product, but I believe it would only be up thru 70. What I found is the mirror changed in 71. What I ended up doing was buying a drivers side mirror assy for a 71 so it would match what’s on my passenger side.

Hi serious blind spot friends. :badgrin:
Just kidding but has anyone tried an inside wide angle mirror or anything that will temporarily help while driving in a 71 two door Landau?
Thanks
