The 55er Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Owner could hardly wait for his J.C. Whitney catalog to arrive each month. He should lose those rear fender top ornaments for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 Both pair of those AWFUL dice would be the first thing to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those "eyebrows" over the headlights also need to go -- I never understood the point of those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesR Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 LOL! Yes, I guess it's a little too adorned with knick knacks. I don't like seeing even one pair of fuzzy dice in a classic. I still really like this car, though. It's clean, and while many Mopars of the early '50's are a little plain, the Chryslers still have some style. Besides, if Stalin's Red Army ever attacks, you could put that visor in the full down position and probably survive an atomic blast! 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) In today’s vernacular, that car needs to be “decluttered”! That car is only about an hour from me........

suchan Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 That is one BIG visor. If it was in the proper position, you couldn't hardly see forward. Clean car, though, and I like the color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 The car also has a very nice interior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes you wonder if the seller fully understands how to operate the transmission in this car, which makes me wonder just how long he has been the owner. I do really like the car, but would have to do away with most of the "geegaws" - especially the dice and the sun visor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58L-Y8 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Here in the East, we had Western Auto stores that carried a whole selection of those automotive accessories among their household, outdoor and recreational product lines. 'Personalizing' your car was common then, even if some of the items look a bit over-the-top now. Honestly, I don't remember ever seeing the fuzzy dice.

In the late 60’s and early 70’s we were into jacking up the rear of our cars, big -n- littles and Crager or Keystone mags.

Most of these visors clamp onto the drip rail, so maybe only a little touch-up paint would be required to get rid of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 These type sunvisors usually had 2 mounting clips that clamped over the center windshield divider moulding and it looks like they mounted the lower one on the upper part of the divider. Unfortunately the way it sits up so high and has a abnormal "pointy" appearance to the very top back center it must have another support up there with holes drilled in the roof. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Some cars just have too much stuff hanging on them and I would put this car in that category. It's a shame because it would be a nice car otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
