Did they come with side view mirrors?
Mine does not have them, and I was looking at pictures on the internet and a lot of them don't. A few have them
The 54 Firedome convertible that I own came with a factory side mirror on the drivers side only. Lee
mine didn't. The original accessories book had them in there as a option though
1954 DeSoto Firedome 8 Club Coupe
Back in the day many mirrors were added by the dealer. They were sold as accessories through the Parts Department. The dealers likely made a higher margin on dealer added accessories so that is one reason they were added at the dealer vs. factory install. My original '55 Firedome has a Yankee brand mirror, which can be found on a wide variety of mid and late fifties cars.

Thanks for all the replies.
