The 57 Dodge I used to have had its mirror mounted from the windshield
moulding with a black/chrome plug on the dash position. I guess you could
even find a second mirror and use both. From the looks of everything (as I
remember), I think the mirror up top had been then for quite a while, as the
wear on the chrome looked to be very similar all around. Of course, if
they used the same stem, then it would be evenly worn, but I think there was a
piece that kind of clipped onto the moulding, and it seemed to be worn about the
same as everything else as well.

the dash...
Someone,I think it may have been Chrysler made an up on the windshield
molding mirror to replace the dash mirror.My 58 Fury has one,a 57 NYer my
friend owned had one,a 57 Fury I owned years ago had one,and a 58 Silver
Special Jimmy Rawa owned had one.They must not have been all that uncommon
being so many cars I've seen have had them.Where the mirror stem would stick
out of the base in a 57 or out of the dash in a 58 a small chrome plug would
fill the hole.Not a bad alternative for people who don't like the dash
mirrors.
