Does anyone have a side mirror for a 1961 Ford Fairlane?

[Ryder Couture]

I am 15 years old and I am fixing up a 1961 Ford Fairlane with my dad. The side mirror broke so I need a new one.

I am also replacing the fuel line so if anyone has any advice, I am happy to hear.

Got a photo of the mirror so we know what to look for?

The part where you screw it onto the car cracked apart. It says 1801 on the bottom. I don't know if that helps or not. I only need one.

The car probably had the mirror installed at the dealership when new.  With a casting number like that it is an after market mirror supplied to the dealership.  My 61 Mercury had after market mirrors installed on the front fenders and in the Mercury options booklet it shows them as an option and more than likely installed at the dealership also.  A true Ford part would have a casting number starting with a C for 1960 and a 1 after which is the year, then followed by numbers. Something like this (C1AZ-23232)  Try Ebay for a mirror.
