Location: Ocean Park, Washington		I am in need of both mirrors for my 56 Chrysler Windsor. The ones I have are pretty sad. The outside is pitted and the mirror itself is cracked. A great body but it won't work as is. Now I have 2 different inside mirrors from 2 Windsors and they are both sad. Can I get some help with this problem?

Those exterior mirrors show up on ebay all the time. If you're concerned with originality, the dual strut mirrors came on 57-63ish Mopars. 55-6 used single strut exterior mirrors.

Location: Ocean Park, Washington		Interesting, because the dual strut was mounted on my 2nd '56. And the different inside mirrors came on 2 different '56s.

Floyd,
Do you need a pair of outside mirrors or just one? I have a very nice pair. Let me know if I can help?

Location: Parts Unknown		Ron is right. Dual struts were retrofitted to your 56. They were first offered
on the 57 DeSotos and Chryslers, with Dodge and Plymouth retaining the single
strut units through 1958 model year as factory equipment. That said, many
exterior mirror installs were done upon the sale, at the dealership, and they
seemed to use either what was on hand, or what the buyer asked for, as these
installs seem pretty willy-nilly.

Of course, exterior mirrors were not required until 1965, so it was not uncommon
to find misfit or aftermarket mirrors on cars like ours as owners often installed their
own in later years. To them, it didn't matter if it was original. It worked, and that
was all they cared about.

I'm asking $75.00 ea. plus postage. You can see a picture of one on my web site at www.carlswellusedcarsandparts.com just click on the Mopar page and scroll down to it. Have a look and let me know if I can help?
