See below.
And the squarebody plastic mirrors were different.
They looked similar, but yes they are different. I never tried to fold them, so I don't know if they will. But I do fold the current Burb's mirrors in, if we're parking somewhere tight.
The 800 series power mirrors have the power folding option, but it's easy for them to get hit and knocked off tooth in the gearbox inside the housing. Then you have to cycle the mirror a few times to get it back right.
And the "dumbos" do stick out a bit, but at least you can see plenty of what's going on beside and behind you! There's a reason so many cars have some type of blind spot assistance system; car mirrors suck cause you can't see much in em, too little!

I had, very briefly, a square hi-top conversion which had those mirrors. Power glass movement but definitely not power fold. I don't think they folded at all actually. My phone is acting up but I'll see if I can dig up a picture later.
One of the reasons mirrors suck so bad is placement. Older European cars had wing mirrors, mounted on the front fender. Larger field of vision, but less aerodynamic and uglier.

Factory power heated mirrors on '88-'91 SUV's, Blazers, Jimmys, Suburbans, etc. Pretty rare option.
That funky addition on the bottom of the mirror is where the electronics/gear drive are. (?)

Those are them! They're heated too? Looks like they fold however.

How rare are these? No I’m not hoarding I’m just uh, saving them for later when I get a squarebody to drive at my oceanfront beach house in New Mexico :Big Laugh:
