Frank Gooz Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Could some please send me some pictures of the stock mirrors for Coronet. The car had clamp on Mirrors when i bought it. I put on custom/ aftermarket and they look to flimsy for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) mirrors were basically aftermarket and dealer installed...you have to search out mirrors for fit of base and the curvature of the neck and base is paramount to a well fitting look and ability to use without interference from the vent....therein lies the main problem for recommendations. someone can probably tell you what they used but not necessarily what you would like in the end. I modified some two different mirrors into a homogenized blend for what I thought was practical application and retained a good look about them. Most folks see that as too much trouble....involved cutting and threading mirror heads... Edited November 6, 2020 by Plymouthy Adams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Gooz Posted November 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 This what thought I have some Crestline books from years ago and i see no mirrors. Thank you for the information. I will keep looking something. I have some 58 Plymouth but they look to big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 the 58's I think were mounted on the fenders....I have a set of these... I could not make them fit and be effective...however, their looks were fantastic overall....like man forward fender mounts on plenty of foreign cars....there is no substitute for the look...

Andydodge Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 This is an old pic taken before the vinyl top was replaced but it shows the rear view mirror I made by taking the mirror and part of a mirror arm and welding it to a piece of steel bar and fabricating the door hinge piece, also had to make a new longer hinge pin then get it chromed, I drilled, tapped & installed a grub screw in the top bracket to secure the mirror.........couldn't find a hinge mirror that fitted as they seemed to be only to suit Frods.....this was 40 yrs ago...............lol............andyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargrinder Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 I took these when I got home from work today. I could re do them tomorrow during the day... but this is the one I have on my '50 Coronet. Only have a mirror on the drivers side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Gooz Posted November 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Stargrinder, will you wing window open? That looks to fit the car. I like the size of the base did those come on your car? That mirror diameter is bigger the mine at would help. do you know where it came from?

It does open... not fully but sufficiently to let the air in. I also included some other day light photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) This is the correct OE factory mirror for your Dodge...one shown is on a 1950 T&C.... an extremely hard to find mirror Edited November 8, 2020 by Dodgeb4ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainGTX Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 A very similar, perhaps the same, mirror on my 53 Coronet convertible. Believe it came on the car originally, as the original owner (from whose son I acquired it) kept everything stock. Don't know the part number, but these are hard to find also.

Frank Gooz Posted November 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 Thank you all for your input. I will keep looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 Same MoPar mirror as I showed^^^ Looks like maybe they were used thru 53 too. This same part# mirror might have the three raised ribs on the side or might not. Seen them both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
