Yes! Thanks Tom!

Thanks, Tom.
I did that from memory, and wayward light purchases in the past...

Many, perhaps most, cars of the era also came without outside rear view mirrors. Most that you see are clamped to the edge of the door. Many like this are readily available new.

I believe that President coupes and probably sedans had two tail lights. At least all I've seen have two. Shrock Bros. reproduces the lens. 36-7 Dodge/Plymouth bezels will work I believe. I had one that did and another which did not.

Stunningly gorgeous you very lucky dog.

Tks 5 Brown 1 I'm on it! Pulled the carb & having it rebuilt! Pulled the starter pull cable soaked it got it out greased & it works great! Problem with peep mirrors are both doors very tight on hinge side & no room for peep! Has anyone tried the hinge mount mirrors? Tks again for all the replies! Bill

The issue with mirrors it the body is kind of wedge shaped (at least to the rear of the front doors.
Mirrors have to hang out quite far to get a straight line look backwards.
With peep mirrors all you can see is the window channel behind you.

Stude used longer hinge mounted mirrors on the CE's.
Kind of an angular look....
I fell for the street rod 'swan' style mirrors. But even they could be longer.



Still hard to see out of the rear view mirrors...
And the coupe has a huge blind spot.....

TKS JEFF! Yeah I ran these on my Willys & never could see out of them! A 3 Window coupe is just hard to see out of! Tks! Bill
