Would a 1947 GM sunvisor from Lebaron Bonney fit my application for a 46'? Holes in the same configuration, size, etc.?

I do not think the 46 had interior sunvisors. Perhaps someone has a differen opinion.
Yours may have been added by a previous owner.

Someone sent this info to me. It appears a Sun Visor was available as Optional Equipment.

The header panel doesn't have any holes for visor mounts. I have looked around a bit ( Carters, Chev's of the '40's ) for stock visors as they would be nice to have, with no success. I also grabbed a pair out of a BMW 6 series at the wrecking yard a few years ago, but decided against installing them. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 201 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 201 | Ditto as well. Not only that, but I find that windshield is so far away and so low relative to my eye level, it hasn't been an issue. Mine had a drivers side when I bought it but I chose not to put it back on.

Where would one get the correct vinyl or cloth to cover, and does anyone know what the panel truck or suburban sunvisor looked like? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 237 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 237 | The visor had the same material and color as the seats. Drivers side was usually standard, passenger side was optional. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,321 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,321 | This is to correct my Post dated dated 11/7/11
I edited my post to include this info.
