Fender Mirror
This mirror was in the trunk of the 53 Merc parts car I got a while back so I finally got around to trying it out on the 52. Since the 53 fender I installed already had holes in it for a mirror I did not have to drill any. I don't know if it is an original Ford accessory. I like the look of it but the glass is cracked. I'm thinking of getting one of those stick on convex mirrors that used to be popular.

Re: Fender Mirror
I had a broken mirror, and I did a google search and found a place that sold round mirrors in all kinds of sizes. It took a little screwing around, but I was able to install the new mirror in the old housng and it turned out great!

If its genuine Ford there should be a part number underneath.I worked at Pep Boys in the early 1960's and they carried all kinds of outside rear view mirrors.That location probably is not the best field of vision. |

Try your local glass shop. I just had the mirror glass replaced on a round mirror for my 52 F1. $40.00 Most glass shops replace/install mirror glass Hope this helps, Tom |

Deucelover, that location might not be the best for visibility. The reason I chose it was that the fender already had holes. This fills in the holes and gives me at least a little more rear view than I had.

Re: Fender Mirror
I'm so used to a good set of outside mirrors that I really miss it on the older cars. Plus my neck is not as flexible as it used to be when I need to back out of the garage. I see Walmart has those stick on mirrors advertised very reasonable so it won't cost much to find out if it works. If I get it together I'll post a picture of the results.
