superfunk Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 I picked up a nice '41 Kingsway a few years back. It has a plexiglass exterior sunvisor installed. Very functional. The car also came with a frame for a canvass visor. I didn't think much of it at the time. Fast forward to today. I'm thinking about getting some new canvass put on the visor. I go to the internet to see examples, and it turns out I can't find any. Everything is steel. I talk to some of my friends who are more familiar with this vintage of vehicles and they've never heard of it. So... Who has seen exterior sun visors made from canvass? Quote
casper50 Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 maybe on a jeep or deuce and a half but I've never seen one. Quote
Robin (UK) Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 Alan, in the UK, just told me he found one of these in the trunk of his P15 Business Coupe when he got it. I haven't seen it, or any pictures, but it's clearly a period item. If I get more info I will post it on this thread. 1 Quote
superfunk Posted July 10, 2017 Author Report Posted July 10, 2017 Robin - That's awesome. I'd love to see a picture if it still has good canvass. Mine is pretty destroyed and there was only enough material to know what it was made of. I'd like an example of what it should look like finished. Quote
dpollo Posted July 13, 2017 Report Posted July 13, 2017 I recently passed a 48 D25 through my hands and it had a canvas visor, intact but weatherbeaten, It fit the roofline well enough . I did not like it enough to remove it for my own usage. With a new canvas or vinyl cover, it would be acceptable. I have never seen another. Quote

Hope you restore it and post pictures. Quote
