Can anyone assist me with a look?

I am trying to find a photo, item number, brand, or whatever of an outside mirror that would have been a popular choice for my 1952 Hudson Pacemaker. I am looking to replace the dulled, rectangular one I have currently installed. I was also looking to put both passenger and driver's side mirrors on - full chrome.

Thanks.... below is a photo of the one currently installed.

Contact Paul Schuster, he's PAULARGETYPE on here, posts fairly regularly...

He's got a bunch of correct hudson mirros, that are new, pretty chrome, and can get you a pair. I got a set from him at Doc's meet 2005, but have yet to put them on, but they are Sweet!

Kevin, looks like you got stuck with the same crummy aftermarket P.O.S. mirror that my '54 Kaiser Manhattan did. Checked a lot of the photos in my files of cars from the '46 to '55 era and it seems like there's a lot of that goin' 'round.
Question for Paul Schuster: Would your mirrors be correct for a '54 Kaiser? I have a link here http://www.classiccar.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=2050 to a picture of a '51 Frazer which uses the same mirror as a '54 Kaiser would; does it look like the mirrors you sell? I understand that many independents may have bought stuff like this from the same supplier. I hope the mirror turns out in the picture OK; it's the only halfway decent shot of a "correct" 51-55 K-F mirror I could find.
