Re: Wanted - Left & Right Door Mirrors for '56 Patrician

These are nearly impossible to find although Max Merritt has reproductions. Just be prepared with a second mortgage to buy them. The same mirror was also sometimes installed onto the fender and the original drilling template worked for either location.
These were two part with a steel base and special screw that mounted to the car, then the mirror was affixed to it. Note that the proper mirrors have a recessed boss on the bottom while the 1951-1954 type had a boss that stuck out slightly. They looked much the same but were not interchangeable.
