Hi all,

I have a  BC 62 Parisienne 4 dr sedan with what appears to be factory trailer mirrors, (mounted far up the fenders on both sides) and a hitch.

Does anyone know if this was a factory option or dealer add-on?

 All mirrors in those days were dealer add-on.....that's why the mirrors sat in different places.

Some on fenders,some on doors. I guess when you wanted mirrors, they would sit you in the car and you would tell them where

the mirror suited you best....my 63 has them on the doors.......by the way welcome from Calgary.

Thanks; that helps a lot. I thought they were some kind of "trailer package" since the two mirrors are mounted far up both fenders.

Nice 64, Mike; these early 60,s cars are still my favorite to drive. Its the styling, increased performance from the 50,s and the familiarity from growing up in the 70,s which makes me come back to these cars.
My 61 Buick Le Sabre is another project on the backburner.

that is where they were on my 63 wish i would have taken pictures !!

back then all i had was on old Pentax camera

someday i will have to go through old negatives and see if i had pictures
