Yeah I've seen green ones online. Was very surprised that it was blue, was surprised it had a visor. Also happy lol.

Yeah it's very sad to see these old cars in the woods. But like "The 55er" said, these cars got parked in the bush for a reason. The Olds I'm not sure, probably wasn't running great and being years old why keep it going when a newer model or vehicle were everywhere to buy and have the reliability. The Plymouth i was told they were cruising home and it seized. So yeah it was junk then and worse now. Sadly this Plymouth is RUSTED beyond saving. It will stay there forever. You can see thru the trunk floors, the floorboards are gone, the headlight areas has rusted away. No drivetrain or rear diff. No interior or hood. TOO MUCH WORK to pull it from the bush for scrap anyways. (I do want to saw the rear 2 feet of the car off for wall art) That's all this car is good for. Would be nice to save everything, but I'm not a fan of these cars anyways. Besides the future generations need something to talk about. "How and why was this car put out here". To see old iron out in unusual locations is just as cool as saving them.

I went back and pulled it off for safe keeping 👍🏼

Thinking i agree

That's too bad about the car and visor but at least your gramps was ok. I would not want to hit any bigger animal like bear or moose with these older cars.

Hey that's neat. Good looking Packard still imo. The blue acrylic definitely makes the car stand out differently. I have seen those light up hood ornamental pieces. Would definitely suit the look with the visor

I knew there would be interest but had no idea. It has gathered quite a lot of comments. I had no idea where to post pics and ask info. But AACA was one site that came up and figured there would be a few knowledgeable people here. Thank you all

I believe this car is from the era of the visor. But the acrylic will definitely clean up i believe. I haven't tried anything yet. Cars still at the friends property 45 mintues away and do not want it looking too for out there for vandals or thieves. Yeah i wouldn't really have any idea how to curve "new" visor lens for it. A little work, cut and heat and would turn out ok but hopefully save the original blue acrylic.

Right. The roof had 2 big dents from trees or kids and this large branch that laid across the car but never wrecked the visor. I bet the shaded damper climate of the bush helped save it. I bet out in direct sunlight and anything that hit it would have for sure wrecked the acrylic. Been there 50 years and more on the car so have to save the visor at least now that i can.

They definitely love these visors. Someone definitely will. But I think it will just look good in my shop in the future. May as well keep it for a conversation piece. No need to worry about shipping that way.

Exactly. Time and resources are not free. Haha more than likely. Rust is the killer on old cars. Definitely seems like it had been puttyed before. I would not restore this car. Parts or a planter would be neat. Not many out there but only so many for sale. Not a fan on the front end of these Plymouth cars. Guess being a GM fan that's why lol

Yeah front end lights are rusted off this one. Oh frame and floor boards are probably deleted also lol. I'll pull the trash from the engine bay and see what's there. If nothing, then chances are low for pulling this one home ESPECIALLY if it doesn't come out easy of the ground. But that's what i was wondering on this car if it's common anymore. They're out there but by how easy to come by.

Yeah definitely thinking that. Too much effort to haul it for what's there.

I'm liking the look of the tail fins on this 1957 Plymouth Savoy coupe. It's too bad everything got smashed and has no interior and I know it's rough but i have been offered this car and do not know a whole lot about these cars. I think it should have a chance. But worse case if it's not worth the effort, I do believe the rear half of the car is to make into a couch or something. But believe being a 2 door has its value.

Yes absolutely will be pulling that part, if i can't get the car home this year. I'm in Manitoba the next province to the west of Ontario. I definitely intend to save it. I definitely intend to save the visor and to save the car as well. It will take a lot of effort but I've done it before haha. Sucker for punishment i guess. Thank you. I've had it offered to me 12 or more years ago and never had the chance to go look at it. I forgot about it then remembered last year about it and re-acquired about it. Glad i did. I love old cars and I'm happy to share and that others are also

That's what i was thinking. Thank you Yeah i don't recall any terrible damage but will have to look at it closer next time I'm back to it. Yeah i thought that as well. Took the time to pull or pry them off but not all people see the value in odd, old car parts i guess. But also those screws are a pain after a few years in the elements to remove.

I'm acquiring this old Oldsmobile and curious how rare the roof visor is. It is acrylic blue. I was hoping the car would have been better but with this visor i will definitely be saving it now, so why not haha. (have a 46 chevy parts car at home) It says "The Canadian Vision Visor Co" stamped on it Also if you know what year it is. I was told 47 but I'm leaning to 49-51. I will have to look at the vin tag at a later date. Thank you Keith
