Fossil Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 The only fault I can find with this car is that it's not mine. 😟 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Nice car for sure but maybe a little too embellished with the 61 Polara hubcaps & choice of seat material? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Did Chrysler in these years only use one side mirror? You never see a car with both side mirrors. Did mirror placement on the fender make a passenger side mirror worthless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 For the record I have seen quite a few late fifites Chryslers with outside mirrors on both sides. I suppose they were optional equipment but many were mounted as accessories. There were several different styles. Some styles were lefts & rights while others had flat bases and all the mirrors had the same profile. There was a Phillips head screw on the forward edge of the mirror that when loosened would allow the head to swivel and it they could be adjusted to suit the individual driver's position. When these cars get restored today some owners like to accessorize their cars as much as possible so there may be more cars with dual mirrors now than there were back in the day. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall a good many Mo-Par products in the late 1950s and 1960s with both right and left-side matching mirrors, including: my father's 1957 Plymouth Savoy, my wife's 1966 Dodge Dart GT convertible, my 1960 and 1964 Valiant V-200s, a friend's 1961 Chrysler 300G, and others -- just Dollars and Cents on the part of the buyer, and the ability of the Sales Rep 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never had a vehicle driving on your right side, as you may have now, with four lane roads. There wasn't as much need for a right mirror. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I think I have a pair of these mirrors. I should buy this car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never had a vehicle driving on your right side, as you may have now, with four lane roads. There wasn't as much need for a right mirror. While that may have been the case in some more remote areas, surely not so in more populated areas and bigger cities. Growing up in New Jersey and the greater New York metropolitan area, most major roads were two, and three lanes each way. Even in the 1940s, and maybe earlier, and living near US-1 & US-9, this concrete super slab was three (3) lanes in each direction. By the 1950s, both the Garden State Parkway and NJ Turnpike were each 3 lanes each way for much of their entire distance. In High School Driver Ed, we were taught to scan All Three Mirrors, left, right, and rear-view while driving. Our cars were a Very Basic stick shift '56 Ford Two Door, and a Hydramatic 1957 Pontiac 4-door, both supplied as loaners from local dealerships.
