Re: {Chrysler 300} 1964 Right Side Mirror

James,

Bob Merritt is reproducing the right hand wedge for the mirror and I believe he has a template i gave him to correctly mount it.

Thanks Guys,

The irony is that in the 1990’s I sold mom and dads 300K hardtop that I had restored as well as the 300K convertible because I only had ½ inch on either side in our old garage. The cars stayed out of town and never got used so I sold them.

I miss the couple and that is why I purchased this one. Two inches is doable on a daily basis.

Was the right mirror mounted in the same location and the drivers side or a little further forward.

I also assume I need the special wedge. Has anyone received any feedback or had personal experience with the reproductions on eBay?

Best, James

I agree with Don. The passenger side mirror is also critical to backing our 300K into our garage which has a somewhat narrow doorway (although not as narrow as yours.)

If adjusted properly you will see the whole right side of your car. I did for 40 years.

I am NOT worried about clearance. I want to know if one can see from the driver’s seat down the side of the car and the garage door opening. On many classic cars the right side mirror is worthless to the driver.

The K right side mirror

Mounts on top of the fender just like drivers

Side. It does not extend past the fender like modern cars. So with is

Not a Problem.

Are the passenger side fender rear view mirrors worth a darn on this car?

My 1947 had the beautiful factory swan cowl mirrors and they were totally worthless. My 1949 has the right-side mirror and it is worthless.

My problem is that the 1922 San Francisco garage door gives me exactly 2 inches on either side with the 300K. My 1940’s cars have a lot more room to squeeze through the doors.

So, before I find a mirror on eBay and buy the special wedge for that side, can someone with a ’63 or ’64 tell me if I can see down the right side of the car with the right-side mirror so I can avoid hitting the garage door opening?

Thanks, James
