Weird.... I understood what Dick was saying....

The shroud on this one seems to be taller at the top then the bottom of the hood with a reverse forward slant. Or is it just the way the mirror is sitting in it?

On the back side (the part that faces the front of the car) does this area have an inner circle groove in it? Tom's and Matthews does not have it and wondered if yours is a soft smooth cone shape too! I think the inner grove vesion was a early 60's version like Matthew and Roger stated I have.

I will buy Matthews extra one when he finish's Holidaying in the US of A.

The back side of the surround of the glass that had the groove in it was the 1960 model

Thats good! Since I now own two 60 model FL cars.

I'm not sure how to decipher this.

I'll take some more pictures of the 59 Plymouth and the 60 Desoto.

OK, pitchuhs of the mirrors on the green 59 Ply and the white 60 Desoto. They look to be the same mirrors. The mirrors on my red and whits SF are the same also. The mirror on the Desoto has the hood on the left because the adjustment wires are twisted and this is the only way I can adjust it from inside the car. I will fix soon but its not an easy fix.

Great pics Mr. Koch! Thanks for taking them. They show some great up close views of a Hooded mirror for 59's.
