I don't have a template or dimensions.
Driver or passenger side?
Do a google search for "1957 Ford Fairlane Victoria images" to see what the factory did (and others have done).
But double check that you can actually see what & where you need to see before you do anything permanent. Where it will fit & work well also depends on how large the mirror head is.
Next to the window posts may work on the driver's side but not the pass side, and I suspect is why Ford moved them to the fender when pass side mirrors became an option.
In the photo of the pink car below the mirror had to be located approx 1 & 1/2 inch to the rear to be functional.
Most of the '57/'58 full-sized car photos I've seen have the mirrors at the rear of the fender, not on the door

I have a 57 Ranch Wagon with dual mirrors on the fenders. I can get location points if you don't get a template.
