I have two Datsuns 1973 620 pickup truck and a 1971 1200 sedan I never knew the history of the fender mirrors until this video I am one of the guys that think they're ugly
They look perfect on older cars much like your datsun. The Ferrari Testarossa had an unusual place for its door mirror, they had to place it half way up the windscreen.
Fender mirrors look good, 😊 Would certainly run them if I had a Japanese car. And a Toyota century or the taxis just wouldn't look good without the fender mirrors ^^
Very thorough I have built and owned only Sports Cars since I was 16, Bug eye Sprite,Classic mini's, Healey 109-4,plenty of Datsun Z S30's ,lotus Europa. Every single one had Fender Mirrors. They look so Damn COOL. That was in New England, lots of rain and fog, and people always walked by and knocked them out of position. Snow frost had to clean them , a pain ,but on nice days they looked Kick-Ass. Now that I live in Florida, no frost,no snow, not even weeks of rain like in the North East. I will fit them to my 2 S30 resto mods. Cause alot of those cons have been chipped away. They do look Kick Ass on the long nose of the Z.
In the UK, mirrors are called wing mirrors because they used to be mounted on the wings (fenders) instead of the doors, and the name just stuck. I actually want to remove the mirrors from my Prodrive RX8 and fit camera's and screens instead.
My brother was a musician in Japan in the 70's. I am considering a fender mirror...the door mirror with the windshield "A" pillar create a huge blind spot blocking pedestrians and parking lines. It may be illegal here in te USA (Hawaii). I also have an old school "Wink" Mirror....no blind spots!
I really like fender mirrors and would love to have it in my car someday, but it would have to be on a 70's or early 80's car, else it will just look terribly weird on later models sold in Brazil.
To me it depends on the car whether fender mirrors are beautiful or ugly, but in general I prefer door mirrors, but I always add the after-market round convex mirrors to my door mirrors to eliminate blind spots.
Fender mirrors are the mirror of choice for drivers who have only one functional eye. For side mirrors, one-eye drivers must move their heads to a greater extent than two-eye drivers do.
Depends on the car. They in my opinion match the Datsun perfectly and also other cars from that era like the Hakosuka or the Kenmeri. Where as they don't look that good on newer cars and on cars from the 90s that were going for more the futuristic look. What I'm basically saying is that if there is chrome on the car or there could be/are hints of they work for me but if not then they not something I would add on.
I kind of want fender mirrors now, only issue I see is defrosting them while driving which you probably don't really need to do anyways. Heated fender mirrors I guess is an idea. 74 Celica, it had a drivers side mirror only stock although that is missing. So I think I'll get some for the experience of having them.
I really like that, I think it is in a better position, the style is really better... give a bad boy look for a muscle car like an American sedan. but if the glasses are so small, it's a little small for my old eyes.
I cant imagine a time when cars wont have fender or even wing mirrors. All for the sake of pedestrian safety. Jag and Mercs have to remove their hood ornaments to pass the NCAP safety standards.
Just out of curiosity, If you have trouble seeing all the way to the wheel for fender mirrors, would it look good still and be functional if you had them like 1 - 3 feet from the windshield? Thanks guys!!
I was thinking about figuring out how to put these on my front bumper I have a front bumper with a brush guard on it on an American truck and it would eliminate the blind spots and for off-road applications when the mirrors are folded then I could see I mean it would get caked with mud but that's not the end of the world not muddy always
First off love your podcast! now I have a 1972 240 Z I want to put fender mirrors on just wondered if you knew the best place I can purchased Fender mirrors and I am looking for the short stack version just like yours? And thank goodness you already have a video of how to install them😅
hay czero for your truck.you can get little round mirrors that are convex and stick on the bottom of your side mirror.it gives you a wide veiw so you can see your blind spot.or just by some towing mirrors that extend out.would look sick with the lift
Okay yeah, the neck movement seeming as though the driver is eavesdropping is pretty spot on😄 i need my dad to have fendor mirrors when I'm in the passenger's seat. It feels weird 🤣
why you need fender mirror cause stocks fender side mirror huge like elephant ear...second cause you have bent back bone like an old man so it hard to use stock side mirror -: I put it in hood...is that any problems chinese?...still it origin from mirrors bay
Fender mirrors scream oldschool Japanese 👍
Good to have you back buddy

Thanks for explaining this, I always wondered about those mirrors since seeing them on Jay Leno's Garage.
You must have watched the Toyota Century episode.

yes, to destroy and demolish blind spots
very detailed video!!!
I liked it a lot, it was very interesting 👌👌

I just got some fender mirrors off Amazon for my 1990 Nissan Sentra. Gonna install them this weekend and see how they go!
For anyone wondering, there are 59 "fender mirror(s)"
😂😂😂
Wow, a complete report... Thank you.
Very interesting, I learned a lot.
I've not driven a car with "fender mirrors," but it _seems_ to me as if they're awfully far away.

I have them on my 280zx 1979 . I love theme.

I grew up in Jamaica and these were common when I was a kid.
I'm going to run 1 or both fender mirrors on my Daihatsu in Australia mainly for novelty.
Fender rearview mirrors were popular in d '70s cars. Especially Japanese cars. :))
I really like that, I think it is in a better position, the style is really better... give a bad boy look for a muscle car like an American sedan.

Another czero video! Today is a good day!😆

Love your job bro, keep make it!
Anyone think fender mirrors would look good on a late 90's Tacoma? I have had this crazy idea in my head.
Do it fam I bet it would look awesome. 😃

2 minutes into this video and all I could hear was "Fenderrrrrr Mirrors" 🤣
59 times!!! Once every ≈12seconds
@@JackSwatman 🤣 I salute you for counting and bringing the world that statistic
Lmao.
Pop up headlights aren’t used anymore because of pedestrian collision safety as well lol
I could also imagine if you are near sighted, you probably couldn't see the mirror at a far distance.
Glasses or contacts are still options
I love it we’re can I get I want to put them on my 1991 Isuzu Pick up truck
Can you go to the automatic car wash with fenders mirror?
Where did you get these fender mirrors ?
Okay yeah, the neck movement seeming as though the driver is eavesdropping is pretty spot on😄 i need my dad to have fendor mirrors when I'm in the passenger's seat. It feels weird 🤣
Fender mirrors were also installed on some soviet cars

Cyclists approve
If god had intended for mirrors to be on fenders he would have put them there on the ZL1 camaro.
They don’t work with modern cars, period.
How do they not? They work on my 05 Lexus, or is that not considered modern
I hate fender mirrors.
