Being the, well..."different" one that I am, I'm entertaining the idea of an outside metal sun visor for the ol' 60. Does, or has, anyone produced these things?

The GOOD news is - I think I have a source for the original steel wheels out here in Kansas! Finally! You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a freakin' steel wheel!

You might try Auto Barn . I know they go back to the 60's not for sure on 50's. At least it is a good start.



Thanks,

I was also looking for one of these visors for my 55. I ended up not being able to find one for my exact year, and the ones I did see from the 50s were boo-koo bucks! I decided to fabricate one out of heavy guage sheet metal, and some chrome drip rail.

check out http://www.thenightprowlers.com/ I plan on ordering one for my 55 from them. They are done in fiberglass IIRC.
