Until the advent of door mounted mirrors as standard, that was the way car mirrors were employed. For one thing they were aftermarket accessories and didn’t normally come with the car. It wasn’t unusual for a cars in the UK at least, not to have ‘outside’ mirrors at all. Thinking about it, my first cars (all used/old) didn’t. The first car I owned that had door mirrors was my Saab 900S that I bought (again used) in 1997. steve

These are becoming quite common over here. steve

Ford Corsair. Fairly sure it’s a 2000cc model with the V4. Excellent condition, especially as tha Ford silver paint was notorious for flaking back in the day. steve

Quality builds and superb colour choices. Love the red on the Charger and the two-tone Chevy P/U is particularly fine. steve
