1939 46C sun visors

Ron: I too am in the process of restoring a 1939 Buick 46C. Spent most of the time so far accumulating parts and information. In the process I have acquired a 46C parts convertible with a lot of stuff but by no means everything. Luckily there was one visor in really good shape.

As nearly as possible, the visor is 21 3/4" long and 4 1/2" wide. The little edge trim extends beyond these dimensions. Thickness is difficult but it is about .280" thick including the covering material. The corner radii are right at 7/8". The mounting hardware is listed in the Bob's Automobilia catalog.

The visor fits both my convertibles and I have no info on an alternate design or pattern. I'll try to include a couple of pictures that might help. Bob H

By the way, mine were light tan while what was left of the leather was red. According to all the experts I talked to, one of which was the late Lewis Jenkins, they were always tan on the convertible coupes. So, I made them tan. Another interesting thing is that my car was Lasson Green outside and the windshield surround inside the car was also Lasson Green Poly (metallic), as was the main center bar up to the top edge of the body where there was a tape line and then it was painted tan the rest of the way. There a picture of my car at the top of the website where the photo change one after the other. I think my car is last or second to last.
