Thank you!

about the mirror. whats the correct one? i found different mirrors while searching the web...

...round...:

...angular with different mountingposition:

and my favorite: No mirror

can someone explain it to me?

From the factory, the car would come with no mirror. The dealers had them as accessories. Ford offered a official FoMoCo accessory in form of a rectangular, fender mounted mirror, much alike the mirror on the Inca Gold and Colonial White Vicky on your second picture.

The AMT 1963 Galaxie kit came with a pair of rectangular mirrors that are close enough to the Ford accessory part.

Take a look:

Don't mention my friend. That's the objective of our community here, to help when we can.

I have a LOT of old stuff from many different years of Fords that I also use as reference, on my Flickr account.

Here is the album address:

Another great source, and I mean really great, is the American car Brochure Project site:

Just pick a manufacturer, and surf trough the years and years of brochures they have there.
