Re: {Chrysler 300} 1955 Mirrors

My 55 300 had no outside mirrors or backup lights. All had power brakes. Mine was also a manual steering car with crank windows, regular radio and no clock. I upgraded the radio to town and country, added a clock, and even a power seat (all from parts cars along the way). Stayed with manual steering and crank windows. Never added outside mirrors.

It appears that there was a second mirror available in ’55. My 55 Accessories catalog shows a forward thrusting mirror for use on the door. Part no. 1599701, which appears to be the same as 1772447. Photo attached shows two of them. Likely dealer installed.

Not a factory option. Dealer or owner installed. Everything you ever wanted to know about letter car exterior mirrors: Chrysler Letter Car Mirrors (chrysler300club.com)

Hi,

Something I just noticed in the card. The B has a passenger side mirror. Was that an option or was it something people added to the cars. If it was an option I guess I have learned something today.

Thanks

We are finally getting a little snow here in the great Wisconsin Northwoods so when my daughter send this post card I thought it would be appropriate to post to our list server.
This UP of Michigan post card is dated 1960 so that 300B driver holding the door would probably be at least 85 years old, but maybe he is still with us?
The original post was on a Gogebic Iron Range History group on Facebook.
Have a great 2024,
