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.

LOOK HERE Real Quick -

I'm thinking our family had a '52 (Chevy) with an aftermarket outside mirror screw clamped to the upper drivers door window frame. . Last edited by dmsfrr; 02-23-2024 at 10:25 AM. |

My 57 Skliner has the mirrors on the doors. They are not the big rectangular ones.

Re: Outside rear view mirror question
Think maybe 64 or 65 federal requirement. 65 for seat belts, 69 for 3 point belts 66 for reverse lamps. All Mustangs come with a mirror and belts. My 58 Ford had no mirror outside. Someone please correct dates if wrong.

Good to know, probably saved them a million dollars.
