1955 BIRDS

[CAPTAIN BOB]

SUN VISORS CAN'T FIND ANY REFERENCE TO THE M DID THEY EXIST OR WEER THEY ADDED IN 1956

There were no sunvisors on the '55s. They were first used on the '56 model.

hmmmmmm...i may be wrong on this, but i think all 55's had one sun visor on the drivers side....none on the pass side....then in 56 every car got both sides...you can add them (both), but just buying the sun visors is not the end of it--the chrome moldings on each side are 'cut out' for the visor brackets..these are needed, too..weirdly, my 55 bird came with both sides from the factory but i can't verify it in any way..i am second owner and it's a very early car P5100110..31st one made..go figure....later ed mlynek

nomadbird is right - no sunvisors on 55's

[Jimz Bird]

I would agree with Paul and Tom.

The CTCI Resto manual on pg 19 shows a non padded on a 56. (Padded visors were included in "Safety Package A"
On pg 217 it shows a 56 and a 57 bracket and the differences.
No mention of the 55s having sun visors.

My 55 is original and has no sun visors nor provisions for attaching sun visors on the inner windshield mouldings for mounting them.
