Ulu Posted December 19, 2014 Report Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) These are the visor & skirts that came on my Plymouth. They were not the correct ones AFAICT and my intention was to maybe sell them if I could figure out what they really fit. The skirts are only 10.25" high & 34.75" long and just barely cover my wheel openings. The shape isn't exactly right, though they looked well enough for this car to win a trophy with them. A couple folks have mentioned that they appeared to be from Foxcraft. Anyhow, I'm curious to know if anybody can identify this visor. It's aluminum with steel hardware, and it's made in 5 pieces, screwed together. It seems a tad wide for the P-15, so I imagine it might be for a later car.. The middle joints are flanged, but the end joints are lapped, and by varying the lap I suppose you could vary the width slightly. The clamps had been trimmed & drilled somewhat crudely, then seriously overbuffed & rechromed. I bought this car over 30 years ago, and they've rusted up some since then. Any ideas folks?

BobT-47P15 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Posted December 19, 2014 There were many brands of visors in the after market field back then. It's nearly impossible to tell what make/model they were really intended for now. Someone probably got your items off another old car in a salvage yard or at a swap meet and made them fit. The Fulton brand visor is the most well known and most popular today, but still no real way to tell the intended model.....unless it is still in the original box. They do have a certain amount of adjustment to them to suit the various cars. As I said earlier, my skirts are 33 3/4" long by 11" tall...........and seem like a decent fit. But I still have no idea what car they were initially intended for. 1 Quote
Ulu Posted December 19, 2014 Author Report Posted December 19, 2014 . . . As I said earlier, my skirts are 33 3/4" long by 11" tall...........and seem like a decent fit. But I still have no idea what car they were initially intended for. My skirts are certainly different dimensions than yours, though the shape it quite similar. I imagine that there were a lot of little companies making aftermarket accessories, but somehow I figure there's some data somewhere on this stuff. The visor looks completely different from any Fulton I've ever seen before. All of them were 1-piece, 3-piece or 4-piece from what I've seen. I've done lots of looking over the years and have never seen another visor exactly like this one. Quote
