On a semi-related subject,I was stopped once in a '61 F**d 2 door sedan I bought from its original owner,and was told I had to have an outside mirror and one inside,or two outside mirrors. This car came from the factory with no outside mirrors,no radio,rubber floor mats,single speed wipers and (if I remember right) single speed heater fan.six cylinder,3 speed. Pure Base model.I argued that one too-there were no mounting holes in the doors for mirrors.The officer finally agreed that if it made it this far without 'em,it was probably "grandfathered in". Until 1981,the car was driven in the San Francisco area,as thats where the PO lived. I never did put mirrors on that car.
Anybody else have experience with mirror laws?
