Outside Remote mirrors in 1958?

[Gregg Benedict]

Did Mopar cars even have a remote outside mirror in 1958? While doing some research, I cannot confirm this. It looks like the remote outside drivers funder-mount mirror did not debut until 1959 (fall of '58 for '59 models).

1958 Chrysler 300 an outside mirror was strictly an option according to the brochure. 1958 300 had an option remote mirror. I have a car with one on it. And it's on the IBM card for the car.

Yeah most likely the more expensive cars had them available.. I've never seen them on the lesser Dodge or Plymouth cars in 58.

Can anyone show me the route for the cables through the inner fender and into the cabin on a '58 Chrysler or Imperial? Photos would be optimal.

Checked the '55-'58 parts book and it shows the same one for '58 DeSoto and Chrysler and a different one for Imperial. None for Plymouth or Dodge.
