Re: Sun visors
My total guess….not knowledge!!
There were so many aftermarket parts/accessories produced by Sears, Western Auto, Montgomery Ward and others, I’d bet they were out there in “The day”. But I’ve never seen any nor seen evidence of such and I’ve been thru a lot of cars. As said only on slants. |

Re: Sun visors
Most model A cars already had a visor. The slant windshield were the first ones to delete the visor on the outside. The some 1932 cars had a visor on the inside for the driver but was a basic piece of texture masonite. Nothing fancy for sure.

Hello,
please, does anyone have photos of how they are mounted on the roadster? That question completely baffles me… Where in the string is reference to roadster and sun visors? |

Re: Sun visors
My car has an aftermarket sun visor that pivots and rotates. When I restore the car and put a new header in I will reinstall it.

Re: Sun visors
Werner- Roadsters did not have sun visors external or internal. Only 1931 Twon Sedans and Vicotria's had them. And there was a mix there depending on when the car was assembled.

Re: Sun visors
My Tudor has the 100% stock outside visor above the windshield. I find it absolutely worthless when driving into the sunlight. I can see why folks would be interested in an aftermarket solution. That being said, I restored the car to look original, so I doubt I would put one on.

Re: Sun visors
My '31 town sedan slant did not have visors when I got it, but then again it didn't have any interior to speak of either

Re: Sun visors
Thanks, Brian!
But I was convinced that some roadster drivers might have built their own sun visors. A good reason for me now, to rebuild it like the one in No. 4 from stainless steel.

Re: Sun visors
The header protrudes enough over the wind shield on an open car to act as bit of an external visor.

Re: Sun visors
My take…..
The wooden header protrudes about the same as the metal visor on a closed car. I think I’d just get a strong pair of sun glasses. To me, what your contemplating sounds overwhelming To each his own |
