They are nice... but I've got 4 mirrors and a camera to try to deal with the major blind spot!

Back in the day, streets were not nearly as crowded as they are in the 21st century.

True.... but I understand that the sedan deliveries didn't even have the basic rear view mirror... I added a Belair mount and a day/night from the mid 60s... and repro door mirrors and a extra peep on the passenger side... finally feel almost ok driving it... Actually drove it this morning running 6 errands...

I had a friend back in the 60's who had a '57 Sedan Delivery like yours. I absolutely loved that thing and tried to buy it several times. He wouldn't sell. Unfortunately, he wrapped it around a tree and it ended up in the bone yard. On the bright side, my friend survived the crash mostly unscathed.
