Door-Mount Rear View Mirror for '39 Six

Posted by Packard Newbie On 2016/6/1 16:00:57

My '39 Six was purchased from a body shop by the previous owner. They had stripped the car to do the body & paint and much of the exterior trim and accessories were not put back on. There are two holes in the driver's door for a swan neck style peep mirror, but in all my scouring, I cannot come up with a side-view mirror appropriate for a '39. Max Merritt and Kanter both say the mounting body for that year are specific and the hole spacing is 2 5/16" as best as I can measure. Can anybody steer me here? I don't want to drill any more holes in the door if I don't have to and I would like to get a year-appropriate unit if I could. Any help that 'those who have gone before' could offer would be very much appreciated. Many thanks.
