Ron K. Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Okay guys, I finally found a correct gravel guard and now am in need of a rear view mirror for the right side. John Murphy told me to contact Jay Fisher for a reproduction one because originals are impossible to find, well I called their number and left a couple messages but no return call. Is he still in business? Maybe out of town? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40ZephSedan Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 In his lower 80's 2-3 years back & scaling down his business then, tired & retiring a 2nd time (first as engineer in phone industry). At small place on east coast with shop nearby where he did grinding/sanding/polishing himself. A perfectionist, the best, full 3 layer chrome- brass/nickel/chrome I believe. Sending parts to most expensive cars/shows around the world. Over 200 drawings with accurate original dimensions, his own molds...awesome!! But had already stopped casting any new items then, and was only finishing castings he had in stock- sending them out for chrome until stock was gone. So may have moved since, don't know.

Ron K. Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Thank you for the update, I assumed something like that. The phone number is still active with a voice mail option so I hope that he will call me back sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19tom40 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I don't know about the Lincoln right side mirrors in 1940, but the Ford and Mercury ones are just for your girlfriend to adjust her lipstick. You cannot see them from the driver's seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mssr. Bwatoe Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I had originally installed a right mirror as well, then removed it because it was useless for one, and stuck out quite farand in the garage with a wife and kids...was just was asking to get caught on passer by..
