Inside or out? On my 1953 Clipper, I took the inside mirror to a local glass and mirror shop and they were able to make it like new again and it was a very reasonable cost.

If it's 55.56.

Tucson Packard has them.

I used a guy from mid west. And he has 2 finger prints in mirror. And it took over 6 months

Then bought from Tucson pack.

Different types of mirrors present different options for repair, we could offer better recommendations if you were more specific about the type of mirror.

It's a common GM day/night mirror, available brand new from the Mid-Atlantic Packards region of the Packard Club, $90 last time I looked, see their ad in your club newsletter.

Tuscon Packards may also have them.

And for the round outside mirrors needing replacement several have taken them to a glass shop where the old mirror was broken out and the glass shop cut a round mirror to fit and then used mirror cement to attach the replacement. Downside to that approach is some of the external mirrors had an optical property where the reflected image was changed in size for greater coverage and the new mirrors will not have that property.
