1970 sun visors
I have a 1970 LT-1 with a deluxe interior. I need a pair of sun visors. Were the sun visors different between the standard interior and the deluxe interior? Where can I purchase these.
Thanks,
Al

Delux interiors had smooth sun visors, standard interiors had "comfort weave" sun visors.

I think the use of the comfort-weave only visors came about later, 73-74ish. Also seems to be one of those things that not every "deluxe" car got them every time or at least there are a handful of earlier, one-owner cars that the owner have stated they have comfort weave visors even though it's a deluxe interior. You'd have to check a ncrs guide to see what they say about it. I'm pretty sure at one point someone verified the 73-74 guide said all interiors got the comfort weave at that point. Vendors offer them 69-73 and 74-75 but I think it's just whats being made not necessarily what is "correct"

'70-'72 NCRS guide says:
"Sunvisor material of both vinyl and leather interior is the same Comfortweave vinyl as the standard seats. No cars in these years have smooth vinyl visors. There is moderate padding; some reproductions have no padding."

Kind of what I suspected. The vendors are making the madrid visors and listing them but it's not actually "correct"
There's a bunch of stuff like that, the cowl screens were frequently listed as 68-82.... type of thing
