The question of sources for sidemount mirrors came up just a little while ago. Browse this site and perhaps you'll find it. While all the major Packard vendors have sold them, there are only a few actual manufacturers. As I recall from the prior post Kanter was out of stock; you also could try Max Merritt or Sandy Chirco. The only manufacturer that I can recall is Jay Fisher in New Jersey, though I know there are others.

From my own experience with 1941 cars with the beltline mirrors, the right side one is only useful if you have a copilot. And pulling the spare from the fenderwill with the beltline mirror is a close proposition. The sidemount mirror will be only slightly more useful.
