    Description

    This is a PAIR (2) of new high quality reproduction outside door mirrors for 1955 and 1956 Pontiacs.  Chieftan Special, Chieftan Deluxe, Star Chief Custom, Safari. They are not an exact copy of the Pontiac mirrors (Pontiac part #519802).   The head is the same as original but the base is a little longer than the original Pontiac mirror.  These mirrors are an exact reproduction of the original mirrors offered by GM for 1955, 1956 and 1957 Chevrolets (GM part #987460).  EXCEPT THESE MIRORS HAVE A SLIGHTLY CONVEX LENS TO GIVE A WIDER FIELD OF VISION.  Mirrors on modern cars have lenses like this.   Because these mirrors are so close to the Pontiac mirrors, no one to my knowledge makes the exact Pontiac mirror (GM #519802).  (Many  Pontiac parts vendors claim this mirror is exact, but I don't agree).  You can see these mirrors pictured here on a really beautiful 1956 Star Chief.  Also, be sure to note this mirror on a VERY rare blue 1957 Pontiac ambluance. (Notice how the contour of the ambulance door at the belt line moulding is different than  1955-57 Pontiac sedans.  These ambulance doors are shaped like 1949-54 Pontiac sedan doors.  These mirrors may be installed on all models.....convertible, hardtops, sedans, Safaris, and (as we have learned) ambulance.  The mirrors have no Chevrolet markings. The mirrors are all metal as original. The cast alloy base is bright chrome, the mirror back is polished stainless steel. The 4.5 inch lens is optical quality tinted glass as original. Left and right mirrors are the same. The mirror sits 6 inches high. They come with template (for the correct placement of screws), molded rubber gasket.........see picture (not a flat piece of rubber as some others offer), and the two propper mounting screws. They attach to the car as original. One screw is under the mirror and slides into a key-hole shaped hole in the underside base of the mirror. The second screw goes into a recessed hole in the rear of the mirror base (see picture for this hole). The screws are placed 4 inches apart. The footprint of the mirror with molded gasket is 6 1/2 x 1 3/8 inches. The mirror heads are firmly attached to the base for secure adjustments that stay in place when you slam the door or drive over 60 mph. I personally inspect every mirror before packing. I am pleased to offer such high quality mirrors. They have my personal 100% guarantee of satifaction or your money cheerfully refunded. Shipping in the USA is (USPS Priority). Safe arrival guaranteed. You can pay a lot more (even double or triple in catalogs).............but you won't get better mirrors. I also include a copy of the original Chevrolet Dealer's installation instructions so you have the correct placement of the template, screw holes, and mirror ......see the picture. I don't know of anyone else that gives you this. Easy transaction. Buy with confidence. Contact me for other payment methods. Single mirrors are available.   .99 is for TWO mirrors.    Thanks for looking.   I am the supplier of this mirror to many auto parts vendors.
