Interestingly, it appears that they came both ways. '55 had it on the door.
Based on that, possibly early '56 was door mounted and later '56 was fender
mounted. As you know the fender mounted position became the standard through
'66.
Mine is on the fender. It is a later car with the torqueflite transmission, and
the emergency brake light that says "BRAKE" (rather than the little round light
in the metal adapter). I have looked in the door and found that there never was
a mirror mounted there.
