    I have a 1954 Chevy 210.... I've been separately seeking an exterior visor for less than $400. I have found one in pretty good condition, tho it's for a 50-52 Chevy. I have a good body guy if it's even close....does anyone know off the bat?..... Thanks as always!.....

    49-52's may need the chrome trim that divides whe windshield halves to mount. 54's of course, do not have this.

    53 and 54s use a roof mount center perch.

    can't really tell u if they are same length, but visor for 53-54 is pretty hard to find and 3xs more expensive than earlier models. I got lucky & found mine at a swap meet for 280 & it was the only one there. I must have walked past 25-30 visors for 50-52 that were priced from $100-150. Personally i would just hold out & find the right one.

    The '54 visor I had was one piece, curved, the '52 is two pieces and V'ed with a chrome strip in the middle.

    they also make a one piece for the 49-52's. not sure if it needs a center support.

    It's not the same the 53-54 visor is wider and it has the center roof mount bracket , of course anything can be modified but it will look funny since it'll be narrower than the correct one.
