Extendible and pivotable mirrors for vehicles which include in a first preferred embodiment, an extendible mirror attached to a piston mounted in a fluid-operated cylinder secured in the door or fender panel of a vehicle. In a preferred embodiment, the extendible mirror is extended outwardly of the vehicle fender or door panel by operation of the cylinder and is manually pivotally adjusted for rear-view observation by the driver. The extendible mirror may be retracted in a mirror well located in the fender or door panel when not in use. In a second preferred embodiment of the invention, a pivoting mirror is first pivoted from a mirror well to a desired position by operation of a fluid-operated cylinder and is subsequently manually adjusted to a functional location for rear viewing from inside the vehicle. As in the case of the extendible mirror, the pivotable mirror can be pivoted into a mirror well located in the fender or door panel of the vehicle when not in use.
