Generally Ford only had them on the windshield header or frame with trucks being an exception. There were accessories though for both open and closed cars. The 68C has more of a coupe type pillar so they would use either a hinge mirror or the edge mount peep mirror on the forward side window supports. Some like the long stem hinge mirror. The side mount spare tire mounted mirrors are another. I don't know if any of them are similar to an original Ford accessory or not but the ultimate goal is to get a mirror that is easily usable and doesn't detract from the look of the car.

Perhaps another 68C owner may be able to offer better suggestions.
