59 Outside mirror, option?

[Jeff M.]

I recently bought a 59 hardtop only car and was wondering if a outside mirror was a mandatory item by any chance? I know the car was repainted the original color in the early 70's. The car has no outside mirror, no signs of any holes, repairs, or any imperfections. There are no mods done to the car, I just can't imagine going to the trouble of removing any signs of a mirror and driving it without one for 30 plus years. So before I screw up some mirror delete option I thought I would ask around.

Jeff, outside driver side door mirrors were standard. Removing mirrors used to be a customizing trend in the late 50's and 60's. If there were no holes is the door skin a replacement or aftermarket?
