Re: [Chrysler300] 1964 Convertible Sun Visors Project

Jamie:

Thank you for those wonderful pictures.  Now that's what I'm talking about.  Those white visors covered in original grain style pearlescent vinyl look just like original, at least to me.

In 1964, full size Chrysler convertibles came in three models, the 300-K, the 300, and the Newport.  The 300's were offered with five interior color choices, white, black, tan, red, and blue.  The Newport's used those same colors and materials as the 300's, plus they offered the sixth color Turquoise.  Legendary should be made aware of the six color choices available for the 1964 Chrysler convertibles.  According to my research, SMS Auto Fabrics of Canby, Oregon sells the correct original color and grain vinyl in all six of these colors.  You can view these materials at www.smsautofabrics.com.

One more question.  The visors pictured do not appear to have the plastic nipples installed on the inboard ends of visors.  The plastic nipples are needed in order to attach the visor to the slots in the rearview mirror base.  Will the new visors come with the plastic nipples?  If not, does anyone have a source for these nipples?

Chris, Legendary used the exact same vinyl as the 64K Convertible visors that I obtained from Bob Merritt, they are not square checked but have a grain to them. Take a look at these images of the finished visors. Jamie

Thank you very much for this update on reproduction 1964 convertible sun visors and all the hard work put into this project.  However, I am a little concerned about the type of material used for these reproduction visors.  You see, original hardtop and sedan visors were covered in unperforated headliner material (square checked vinyl) and color-keyed to match the headliner.  However, original convertible sun visors were covered in seat vinyl and color keyed to match the seat color.  My question is this, "What type of material is used on these reproduction convertible visors, headliner vinyl or seat vinyl?"

With the help of Bob Merit and Don Cole, the 1964 K convertible sun visors have been reproduced and are now offered for sale by Legendary Auto Interiors. Bob provided the samples to be patterned from, and I paid for the first set to be built. These are of the highest quality and will past Concours judging, they even include the small chrome end clips with the correct stitching. The pictures of these white 64K visors will be included in Bob's next Chrysler 300 E news due out sometime in June. The visors do not include the chrome mounts, you must reuse yours. On Don's advise I ordered these in white and since I do not own a 64K I will be offering this first set only to our 300 club members at my cost of 104.49, I have only the one set at this price. If you want to order a set for yourself please contact Chris Robbins at Legendary 800-363-8804 extension 222 and mention my name, I believe they are going to be listed in their retail catalog for 113.00 a pair plus shipping and offered in other colors.
I will have the White set with me at the St. Louis meet for the clubs inspection and purchase, so it will be another reason for you 64K Vert owners to attend Ed's spring 300 meet. I will also bring the visors that Legendary made in black for my 1965 L convertible so you can see the difference between the 64's and 65's convertibles. I am very impressed with the quality of these replacement visors, and upon inspection, I am sure you will be too. See ya in St. Louis.
