The center of my mirrors are 15 1/4" from the door seam forward and 4" over the side of the fender from the hump in top of fender. When you install your passenger mirror you might have to pull it back toward door about a 1/4" to make sure antenna isn't in line of sight. I'm not saying this is the correct place but I am saying mine had the original style mirrors on it and we didn't move the holes when we restored the car. The style of mirrors are different from the early cars built in 1956, they are the mirrors left over from the 56 year model. The cars built in 1957 had square mirrors.

Anything that was outside the car such as Mirrors, spotlights, accy bumper guards, connie kit, hubcaps, rocker molding, even roof lights on taxis and police cars were dealer installed.
