I'm fairly certain the same mirror was used on Corvettes from 1956 to 62. Several Corvette parts suppliers sell them, including the following:

Check out the picture on the web site to make sure it is the same as your left hand mirror. Be careful of 2 things when buying one: 1. that you get a right hand mirror whose mounting screw will be on the bottom of the "neck"; 2. that you don't get the same mirror for 63-67 Corvettes which is identical except it has a Chevy bowtie insignia on the chrome face behind the glass (which will not look good on a Cadillac).
Chevrolet dealers used to stock them for half the cost of the Corvette parts dealers today but, unfortunately, they stopped doing so about 10 years ago.
thanks for the link Jay,, it looks like mine,, alot of money for a mirror.. I may bite the bullet
thanks Gene CLC22406
Art Gardner, a CLC member who owns a 50 Cad, recently bought one of these mirrors. You may want to email him to ask where he got it, since he may have found a cheaper supplier than the one I posted as an example.
I have a left and a right on my 49 and was lucky enough to buy them cheaper years ago at a Chev dealer, though they are only authentic from 1950.
I just bought a RH mirror from MacVey's, which matches my L hand mirror perfectly. The catalog states...1937-1949 door mirrors for Cadillac or LaSalle in a stainless steel version. According to the catalog pictures, they differ from the 1950-1955 mirrors.
