What outside door mirror could you get on a 54 2 door Bel-Air from GM and does anyone reproduce them.

The most common mirror was the simple clamp-on door edge type that Chevrolet sold from 1949-1954. I have never seen a correct replacement.
There was also a remote control type offered.

Check with Chev's of the Forties, or the Filling Station. They make reproduction mirrors that are OK, although not exact, and they sell King Bee mirrors, which are period correct, but not a GM offering. https://www.chevsofthe40s.com/shop/...p;searchtype=FT&method=KeywordSearch

The clamp on clamps to the front edge of the door, not the chrome areas.

tHE LAST MIRROR ON HE BOTTOM LOOKS MOST LIKE THE ORIGIAL.
Too bad the back of the mirror is not shown. the arm should attach in the center of the mirror head to be correct.
That is the $20.25 mirror.
OK, saw back of mirror. Arm not in center but is close to original as you can get.
