Only on the Euro cars, which received the Vitaloni Californian (most 
often), and later cars received the Vitaloni Baby Turbo, from the factory.

USA-market cars came with no mirrors from Italy, but Ford did designate an 
'official' mirror, the chrome one that was used on a variety of late 1960s 
Ford cars.   All door mirrors were dealer-installed (or perhaps 
distributor-installed on the driver's side, prior to delivery to the dealer?)   

The 'bullet' mirrors which Guy is calling 'factory' were never officially 
designated for Panteras, but some dealers chose to use them instead of the 
old-fashioned chrome mirrors, so many Panteras came equipped with them from 
new.
