Thanks I owe you a beer. can you assist me in locating a exterior sun visor for my 52?

I think you're going to have to start searching for these type companies and hope to find something that fits. An original might be out there but undoubtedly pricy.

A sun visor looks like hell on your car. It buggers up the chrome too so when you take it off it really looks bad.

Please don't put a sun visor on your car.

I see your point and will take your advise Thanks

My parents bought a 1952 250 hardtop from J.P. Mooney dealership in McKeesport. It is the car in which I learned to drive. I have published this pic before and taken some good natured ribbing. It only had three "bottle openers" and no extra chrome wing on the rear fender. It was twilight taupe and sunset red metallic. I have very, VERY fond memories of that vehicle and hope that some of those that participated in the enjoyment of that vehicle also remember it fondly.
Rusty is correct - an external sunvisor would spoil the lines and detract from its inherent good looks. My interior was a deep maroon leather with gray nylon cloth - understated, but elegant. I like the fourth bottle opener. It was always referred to as "the 250". I never heard it referred to as a Mayfair until much later.
