1937 H or T Outside Mirror

Jon B

To whomever was just bidding against me on the Ebay mirror (and anyone else with a '37 H or T): if the mirror (which fits in the door hinge) turns out to be the correct "factory" one, I'm open to re-making these "at cost" for anyone who's interested. I have a friend who could probably do it, assuming we could find a similar mirror from a new or NOS universal-fit "peep" mirror. He's extremely talented, is semi-retired, and tends to undercharge for his services!



If anyone already has an authentic '37 exterior mirror I'd be grateful if you could get in touch so I could confirm that the one I just won, is the right one.

Jon,

How different would the 36 be?

Might be exactly the same; I'd need to get a description of the '36 and some measurements! And of course, I need to obtain the one I just won in the auction, to check it!



Here's the auction, if you haven't already seen it. Hit the "supersize" button for an enlarged view of the mirror. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HUDSON-CAR-TRUCK-1937-REAR-VEIW-MIRROR-SIDE-MOUNT_W0QQitemZ260470954889QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item3ca5475b89&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245

I'd think that the '36 would be very different, because '36 are suicide doors while '37 is not (might make a big difference since Jon said in his post that the mirror fits in the door hinge).



But I was wondering the same thing - basically how '36 handled the mirrors (if they even did) . . .



bellbigdawg - is the '37 pickup hood ornament the same as (or at least similar) to the '36's? I've got a '36 pickup that currently has the passenger-car style, and might be interested in a copy if it's possible. barring that - good pics and measurements?

no, 36 and 37 ornaments are very different.
