This was at the LARS show and notice they had a support on the center.

Maybe it's custom.  Maybe it's Maybelline?
Anyhow.  Who wants some?   I do.   I need to figure out what they are or where they got them.

Kind of look like they came from a much newer vehicle.
Doncha' hate it when you see something really neat on someone else's car...and hey aren't around to fill you in on where they got stuff you like? How rude! LOL!!!
Can't help ya' though...no idea what they may have come from...kinda look like it might be a upper end car.
Anyone else have an idea? I like them too.

I'll see if I can find a pic, but what I did to support the Cadillac sunvisors was meant to be temporary, but I never did, or have a reason to, change it out. I simply used stainless line/tubing clamps with the flange tucked under the windshield trim.   https://57fordsforever.com/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=14075;image

more pics in my build thread:  https://57fordsforever.com/smf/index.php?topic=5795.45            just scroll down a few posts.

1958 Fords used a bracket and sunvisor pins in the center. Carpenter has them.

It does look as he still used parts or the whole mirror center mount (which is an essential, if not integral part of the windshield garnish molding). I think it would be very easy to cut such a sunvisor support from 16, 19 or 20 gauge metal ( possibly even stainless) and just bend it by hand, so it will sit (over) the mirror bracket and be held in place by that. you could easily cover the bent over fingers with liquid (tool handle) rubber or shrinking hose. It seems they used flat, slip on rubber grommet material that is usually used in tubing/electrical brackets. no need for fancy expensive aftermarket parts.
