Vanity mirror for the OWMBO

[rich b]

In ages past I had a '33 Tudor with a oval beveled glass vanity mirror on the passenger sun visor.

Looking around for another one and the only place that seems to list them is Ekler's and they have been "out of stock" it seems forever.

Wonder if anyone may know of another source?

Thanks

Do you mind filling us in on what the heck an OWMBO is?

Kinda like, "yes, I wear the pants in the relationship. So what if she tells me which ones."

The 38-41 style vanity mirror 81A-17676 (very much like your photo) was reproduced and sold by someone in southern Ohio. I think there was a death in the family and I am not sure if they are still sold. The fellow who made the mirror also reproduced the 40 rear gravel deflector. I do not have contact info.

Seen these on C&G Ford Parts. Says different years but maybe the same dimensions? Worth a call...

Thanks for the lead; C&G is my go-to spot; but I guess "vanity mirror" was too modern of a term to use.

Wonder what's up with having to call for a price; hope it is not too scary!

I had an oval mirror made for our '41 at my local glass/mirror shop.

No prob. Last time I bought from ecklers was one of those fun projects voltage regulators. It said out of stock but I called and placed an order for when more came in. Took 6 months but I did get one, the website never changed and still says out of stock.

If c&g doesn't work out, fordor41's solution seems quite feasible.

No help on the mirror but I'm reminded of the old BBC comedy "Rumpole of the Bailey" - the title character was a put-upon barrister who always referred to his wife, somewhat irreverently, as She Who Must Be Obeyed.

That was Mort Burton. I think that someone is still selling the items he reproduced. Good luck,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,40larry

Agree with fordor41. Go to your local glass company and talk to them.

Mort Burton died yrs ago but business is still going. He used to be in Vandalia, Ohio.
Now listed Dayton,Ohio (937) 275-6753

Thanks; must have where I got my acronym from; but I evidently mangled it.

Early Ford Store in CA used to have the vanity mirrors in their goodie show case. All Ford in Campbell,CA might have one also.

Here is one I had a few yrs ago. It was a repro.
