Re: 54 Mercury Front end question

I removed the LF tie rod end today. Some side to side play when moving by hand.

Outside rear view mirror question

On 1954 Mercuries, did the dealerships install the outside mirrors?? Or were they installed in the factory??
I have seen so many photos 54, 55, and 56 Mercuries that have no outside mirrors at all.
