    Some Of The Late 50's And Early 60's Chrysler Products Have The Dash Mounted Mirrors. I've Been Lookin For One For My Model A Since I Put The 55 Chevy Dash In It. I Thought It Would Look A Little Different With That Mirror.

    Some MGs, Austin-Healeys, and other British cars had dash-mounted rearview mirrors.

    in the movie "Gumball Rally" the Italian guy rips the rearview mirror off the dash and says;

    "what'sa behind me is not important!"

    i believe they were in a Ferrari :rolleyes:

    Just got back from a crazy old junkyard full of classic rust!! I saw a few late 50's Plymouths with dash mount mirrors. The guys pretty reasonable but some of the stuff is a bit rough. I'm heading back in a couple weeks to pick up some more stuff, if you want I can pick a good one out for you!
    let me know!!

    Yes, even you should introduce yourself, even though a lot of people know who you are. It's just good manners!
    But Welcome to the HAMB any way!!

    Triumph TR2/3/3A/3B 1954 thru 1962. Small and easily available from the likes of Moss Motors or The Roadster Factory.
