It appears that there was a second mirror available in ’55. My 55 Accessories catalog shows a forward thrusting mirror for use on the door. Part no. 1599701, which appears to be the same as 1772447. Photo attached shows two of them. Likely dealer installed.

Hi,
Something I just noticed in the card. The B has a passenger side mirror. Was that an option or was it something people added to the cars. If it was an option I guess I have learned something today.
We are finally getting a little snow here in the great Wisconsin Northwoods so when my daughter send this post card I thought it would be appropriate to post to our list server.
This UP of Michigan post card is dated 1960 so that 300B driver holding the door would probably be at least 85 years old, but maybe he is still with us?
