It's made by Casco. It mounts with brackets that screws onto to top of roof in middle or the clamp type on center windscreen. I'm not crazy about drilling holes in my roof, so It'll be mounted with the clamp type in divider...

Hi Randy, I am glad that you are so happy with the visor. If we had not sold our '48 it would be on it. I can tell you from past experience that the roof mounted center support is MUCH, MUCH stronger than the ones that mount to the center divider. I have the roof mounted type on my '50 Plymouth. When an 18 wheeler passes you the windshield divider mounted ones tend to lift. I have a friend that actually had one rip off his car because of this. I was hesitant to drill holes in my roof also, however, I am very glad that I did. Whichever way you decide to go I wish you well with it.

Bill do you have any pixs of the 50 Plymouth with the mounted visor, just wondering of how much of that roof bracket is shown....Those brackets look very sturdy.

Send me a PM with your email address and I will send you some photos. My visor has been on the Plymouth since 1997.
