    I got a windshield visor off my 53 and was wondering how much I could get out of it.

    I have seen many of them on ebay listing for $150 and up depending on condition. Is it a Fulton unit, stocker, or something else? Get some pictures on here, somebody may want it.
    I have one on my '53 and love it, tricky if you're the first one at a traffic light sometimes.

    I actually saw an original Fulton traffic light viewfinder on an old rod at a car show a week ago. I didn't even know Fulton (made in Milwaukee) made those!

    I was EBAY tonight and spotted a visor. If you still checking prices... check this one out. Item number 190424840131 $150 buy it now price. See if it is better or worse than yours.

    Depending on the condition will be the biggest difference in price . Most I have seen are good condition drivers at $200 to $250 . But it all comes down to who wants one and how bad they want one . I have seen one on the HAMB for a good while at $250 and he couldn't sell it . Remember a lot of people chop their tops and then the visors are no good to use . Personally if it was mine , I would keep it and put on the garage wall and save for the next one you build . I got one with my 1950 Ford tudor and is on my garage wall . I hope to use it but if not I will keep it for a rainy day .

    Speaking of mounting it on your garage wall......Great idea!

    I took a '40 Ford hood and cut it just before the hinge mounts and mounted the front of it over my shop entry door on the outside and the rear of it inside the entry door. Looks like it was shoved through the wall. When the car guys show up they sign it, I have about 100 names on it now. My most coveted wall hangers is a NOS 1917 Model T cowling and radiator shell I picked up in 1967 from a Ford dealership that was closing. I have four Model T running board that are parts shelves in the shop as well. Old parts are always useful even if you don't have the car to put them on.
