Original Durant Mirror
Miss June never had a drivers side mirror. Exterior mirrors were optional during 356 production, and they show in the accessories list offered at the time. I have had the door apart looking to see if there was any evidence of a mirror and that the holes had been filled in. No such evidence. I've driven the car for years now with no mirror on the drivers door.
When looking for a correct, original mirror, the differences between original and reproduction were obvious. The original Durant mirrors had stars with long points as shown below. Reproductions varied in how the star looked, but never quite correct. An extreme example of poor stars is shown below.
A correct original mirror has been added to the drivers side door for safety reasons.
