I could use a little help...
I recently added a Madison 1956 Lincoln Premiere 4dr Sedan model to my collection, it is red & black. Anyway, the model arrived and it is very nice, but the outside mirror is missing (I knew this when I bought it) Does anyone no where I might acquire one or a suitable substitute? Or does someone by chance have something that would work that you would be willing to sell?
I considered a mirror from a Brooklin model, but I don't seem to find any that use them.
Thanks for any help or suggestions, I really appreciate it.

Does the model have a hole drilled for the mirror?
I looked at images of real cars and was amazed how many have no exterior rear view mirror. The ones that do are mounted on the fender. And the pic I found of a Madison version seemed to have no hole present. If you are lucky, you can get by without the mirror.

Yes. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't worry about it.
And I probably still won't much, it's a very small hole that isn't that noticeable.

Buzz at Route 66 Models probably has a replacement.

John, I have a 1954 Mercury Sun Valley Neo parts car and it has a mirror that appears to be about the same as the one on the Lincoln. If you are interested I would be happy to give it to you. Contact ma at robertjackman at.msn dot com
