Outside Mirror Position - '56

["David W. Gustafson" <davidwgustafson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I also have a later '56 with Torqueflight, and my mirror is also fender
mounted.

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.
