Help guys! My 53 wagon is coming along nicely, but Ive had this sunvisor and no one can tell me what brand it is so I can buy brackets that the car didnt come with when I got it a few months ago. Sadly it was painted by that hack shop maaco, and the roof has a blister and of COURSE they want stand behind it. So ill seal it up and cover it with the visor....

IF only I can find the brackets!!!

I have that style visor on my Courier. There is a bracket in the center that you do not appear to have. The ends are screwed directly to the A pillars.

Any idea of the brand? It does look like the right one, and thanks for the link! Now I need to just find one or get a pic of one and make one!

I'm not sure of the brand. I've been told that it is a Ford dealer installed accessory.

Ford used visors made by Dietrich for their accessory parts in the early 50s. I don't know if that is a Dietrich visor or not. There were other aftermarket accessory manufacturers. The Fulton's are a lot easier to tell but that one is not a Fulton visor.

When Ford finally started manufacturing cars with single piece full windshields, the visor manufacturers had to design a bracket that would attach to the top center just above the windshield. Folks didn't want to drill the roof so the exterior sun visors started to fall out of popularity.
