“Very light surface rust.”
Placement on Vehicle:Front Warranty:No Surface Finish:Chromed head steel Part Brand:GENRAL MOTORS Cadillac Buick Oldsmobile

  Listing here is for ONE (1) only mirror mount chromed Special Screw used to adjust tension between the inside mirror stem and the mirror arm.  By sandwiching the mirror stem with a wavy spring washer into the end of the mirror mount stem, it allows adjustment tension of the up-down movement of the mirror itself without letting the mirror flop around unattended.  Display of others is just to show that we have accumulated a few of these extra over time.  We have found no replacements for the wavy type spring washers in this thinness for this application.  Too often lost these are often more difficult to find than the mirrors themselves.  The screw head was originally chrome plated and may be deteriorated slightly but not so that it would show enough to worry over.
  Note that the correct mount Wavy Spring washer for this application can also be found in another of our eBay listings.  Both are listed separately from our Cadillac Mirror Stems' listings in case your mirror mount screw or wavy washer is lost and you actually need a screw or washer for this application.
  These are likely applicable to some Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Buick General Motors cars and maybe they were used more years than from our experience from 1957 until 1964 such as 1955 1956 or 1965 and 1966; but we don't have references for them other than 1957-64 Cadillac.  
NOTICE: in the third picture there is shown the mount screw and wavy washer and also shows a dished external lock washer.  We found only this lock washer used on the 1957 (or earlier) Cadillac mirror stem and none since that year.  But the lock washer was very helpful (when used) to keep the mirror adjusted to good performance and not difficult to move nor left flopping on its own.  I don't have source for these dished lock washers but have found that flat star lock washers can be used successfully for this application if they are not very thick nor too stiff; and will often curve adequately into place when installed.
  Look to another of our listings if you also need the special wavy spring washer.  E-Mail questions.  PayPal available and required by me from bid winner outside the U.S.A.  Winner pays $2.00 USPS 1st Class S&H and $1.00 Insurance within continental U.S.A.  Outside the U.S. e-Mail with complete delivery address (not just country) for shipping calculations.  Returns only allowed for items delivered not as described in the listing.  We always try to combine shipment of multiple purchases to help save the purchaser on shipping cost.  If you buy both a washer and screw, there will only be shipping charge for 1 item.

Rain doesn't dampen spirits at Orphan Car Show

Wed, 28 Sep 2011

With rain falling as the show cars arrived, organizers worried that moving the 15th-annual Ypsilanti Orphan Car Show from its original June weekend to late September wasn't going to work out after all. It was rescheduled last year after heavy rain in June and participants voted to make the change permanent. Fortunately, the rain blew over before the gates opened to spectators and Sunday turned out to be as nice a day as Saturday, when more than 30 entrants enjoyed a tour to view the extensive Nash collection that Ken and Mary Ann Havekost have accumulated in Monroe, Mich.
