1935 ford outside mirror

[guyrube1]

Does anyone have a nice original outside mirror for a 35 coupe they would like to sell?
I am also looking for nice original bumper guards for the car

The original straight arm 35 mirrors are next to impossible to find since they were a one year item. I have a set of 2 little peep mirrors available that are nice especially for a small garage door opening if you are interested.

Macs latest catalogue ?

This thread leads me to the question...did the 35 Cabriolet leave the factory with side mirrors? Mine doesn't have any and I don't think it ever did. With the top up, I can't drive it safely...did the Dream Cruise last year with the top down and that made all the difference.

Other than the curved hinge pin style, what have you guys found to be a useful outside mirror?

Bob Drake sells (or at least he did) the correct '35 passenger car straight arm hinge mount mirrors. I have bought several sets. These are NOT the same as pu truck mirrors because the part that fits the outside hinge is a different length.

Drake catalog info.....
● Straight arm, repro of original used on '35 pass.car, pn 48-18403-E, 2-1/4" hinge mount bracket
● Straight arm '35-'47 pickup truck, pn 50-17741-B, black painted arm, 2" hinge mount bracket
● Straight arm '35-'47 pickup truck, pn 50-17741-C, chrome plated arm, 2" hinge mount bracket
● Curved arm that fits '35-'40 pass. car, pn 48-18403, 2-1/4" hinge mount bracket

ps....the actual round mirrors that come with these outside hinge mount mirrors are rather small in diameter and somewhat difficult to see with to the side or rear of the car. I have found larger diameter mirrors that will work on these arms that came from one of the well known chain auto stores, but can't remember now which one.
