If the forward facing side is not convex or rounded (no photo shown), then yes, it will vibrate at higher speeds for the lack of aerodynamics. It will be a brick in the air. Hence the aftermarket creation of bolt on "V" deflectors for West Coast and Jr. West Coast mirrors.

This mirror was introduced in 1975. The mirror head was also available by itself.

D5TZ-17723-A .. Mirror Head - Use with TYPE 8 outside mirror / Obsolete

This mirror head comes with a goose neck arm, when in the inward position, it can be flipped over then pushed outward for an expanded view.
