RE: {Chrysler 300} 64 300 K

There was no factory option in 1964 for a RH mirror. They were a common dealer option. I have even seen a RH adjustable RVM that required another hole in the instrument panel but the standard cables on the LHRVW are not long enough to reach to near the steering column. Later years had the RHRVM as a factory option. I believe the LHRVM was placed in the trunk to avoid damage and have the dealer install either the manual or remote adjustable mirror—and the RH RVM as a place for dealer sale of item and labor.

As you can see (I hope) in the attached picture of the RH lower dash panel of a fully-loaded ’64 NY Salon, all spaces on the panel are used—the space closest to the column is for the Auto Pilot speed control with controls for a rear-seat speaker and reverberator and vacuum door locks in drilled holes below. Note the Salon-only standard wood grain applique on this lower portion of the dash. The LHS of the lower IP gets busy, also, if one has the ram engine and is a convertible. The chokes pull is moved to the panel and the convertible top switch is move to a drilled hold on the lower panel.

Have a blessed week.

As to available options in 1964. has anyone seen a remote passenger side mirror offered or listed anywhere?

I am almost certain my well optioned 64 New Yorker I had owned back in the early '70s had one, I recall adjusting it after my wife had driven the car. The control was on the right side of the steering column, and there is a blank space on the panel. Anyone recall? I see nothing listed in the options lists.

Second question, I am guessing that the rear window need to come out to replace the lower trim clips on same?
