Both of my '51's have this sunvisor, neither was installed by me. Is this the correct sunvisor for the 1951 model? Click to see. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1949-52-CHE...ries&hash=item2c90b1621b&vxp=mtr

That visor is correct for US built Pontiacs. The advertised Chevrolet visor is split in the centre with a stainless strip. A lot of dealers would order the Pontiac visor, as it looks better. In Canada, we were a little luckier. The Pontiac visor is the only one listed for both Pontiacs and Chevrolets. This is from GM Canada's parts book… ![[Linked Image from i150.photobucket.com]](http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s84/brewsterg6/1951%20restoration/IMG_5200.jpg)

If you go to a VCCA show and there are 20 1949-1954 Chevrolets there and 10 have visors 8 of the 10 wtll be the Pontiac visor.
Actually a Chevrolet dealer could order the Pontiac visor through GM parts. Still is incorrect for VCCA judging but seldom caught.

I do like the look of this "Pontiac" visor. Clean, uncluttered. If the visor would be my only deduction at a VCCA event, I would be extremely pleased. Thanks Bruce and Gene.

The visor Chevrolet sold looked cheap compared to te Pontiac. Also was some what filsy.
I took mine off of the 1950 for two reasons. Fluttered in the wind at high speeds and not good for mountain viewing.

That's why you look for a Canadian car, Bob. The good visor is listed right there in the parts book! Up here, I don't think I've ever seen an American one. I've seen pictures on the internet though, so it must exist...
