While I am in the pricing mode... I have a windshield visor that I removed from a 51 Stude years ago. I always thought that I might use it on Old Spot, but I decided I would try to sell it at Springfield to help pay my expenses. Does anyone know what a fair price is for one of these?

Yes, If I remember correctly it has a brace that attaches to the cowl at the back of the hood. I need to pull it out of the garage and take a closer look. I've had it for about 35 years."In the heart of Arkansas."

I don't know about the rest of you folks, but the thought of adding something like a sun visor, or a spot light, to one of my cars is terrifying. I get nervous any time I have to aim a drill at one of my cars. I don't know how many screws it takes to mount one of those things, but it don't look like you get too many chances to get it right.
I wouldn't have any hesitation of working on one if the holes were already there and in the right place, but drilling holes in a good paint job and perfect sheet metal is scary.

John, the factory visor like the one on the '51 I posted only requires 2 holes to be drilled in the car. There's 2 screws that hold the little cowl bracket in place, which is mostly covered by the hood. The visor itself clamps down on the rain drip rail. No holes in the roof whatsoever. In fact, we removed the original visor from that car recently to install an NOS one, and once removed you couldn't tell a visor had ever been on it.
Having drilled spotlight holes, and the antenna hole in the '51 pictured... It is a bit nerve racking. However it is pretty cool to use the original templates like the dealers did.

Us old guys can remember a special feature about spotlights. Back in the drive-in movie days, feature films would have an intermission while they changed the reels in the projector. During that time, folks with spot lights would dance the spot around on the movie screen. Good times...good memories.John Clary
