Need Help I.D. Interior Mirror

#1 Post by Alan Hall »

I have a couple of mirrors I need help identifying. Mirror "A" has a square cornered beveled glass measuring 100mm by 40mm. At first I thought it must be for a coupe, but if it mounted above the windshield it would be facing the wrong direction, and I don't know of any dash mounted mirrors. Maybe it is not for a 356? The second mirror "B" is probably from an open car. but I don't know what model or year. It has beveled glass, with slightly rounded corners and measures 117mm by 40mm. Any help I.D.ing these would be appreciated!

Mirror B looks like my 53 cab mirror. My glass is +/- 40mm x 118mm and the corners are square - not rounded. Not familiar with the A mirror.

Thanks Spencer! That mirror could be original to my '53 Cab, but I thought the mirror in the cab, which is different, was original. I will take a photo of the one in the cab and post both in the pre-A forum and see if anyone recognizes which is from what years.
