I am looking for some mirror arms similar to these:

I seem to remember them called "ambulance arms" but I can't seem to find any for sale.
Are there arms similar to these that were standard equipment on commercial buses or ambulances?
Does anybody know what I'm talking about? Very Happy

These were available as an M-code (M-194) option for any bus. But they were usually installed on some type of commercial bus-

I purchased a set and put them on my '65 DC.

I'm pleased with them.

My Dad got these mirrors and arms NOS in 2003 IIRC.
They do have nice visibility.

One of the mirrors is convex. He has had that mirror re-silvered as it went bad.

What year did these come out? As in, what is the earliest known bus to have come with these. Post pressed bumper id guess, but id love to hear they were early.

Hey Clara, are those style mirrors as shown in your photos still available
somewhere? I'm referring to the mirrors themselves, not the arms.

I believe they were/are made by Frese

searched on harp mirrors on the samba and came up with a few hits- not sure if this is what you are looking for- esp the concave mirror would be an oddball to find
