Title: Another what are these ?
Post by: Andrew@MagMustangs on April 01, 2013, 03:14:21 PM

These were marked from a 69 Mach1 Fastback. Anyone know what they are and where they mount? They have a stainless back and painted black on the outside.

We have a 69 mach1 that's been in the family since 1970. We've restored it twice,'86 and more recent '08 and I don't recall anything like what you have pictured.

Can you take another photo maybe holding it and from the side, for clarity. The photos are too close up to tell much and too much camera flash.

Well since you or I don't recognize them or anybody else then they probably aren't even Mustang. They were in the pile of leftover original parts from the MACH 40 build and could easily be from another car such as: 1st Gen Camaro, Mid-60s Chevelle, Azteca, Ferrari Daytona or even an old Hudson. I have 2 sets of them and they were wrapped together and marked Mach 1 so I figured I would ask since I don't recall ever seeing them on a Mustang. Thanks.

They look like side window visors. They wouldn't fit a Mustang or Mach 1 fo r sure. They are basically the same thing called vent visors today that are tinted plexiglas & use double sided tape to stick on.

Just looking through some of the old topics and saw this one.
They are definitely side window vent visors and were common of Fords in the 50's . I have them on a 1950 ford I have.
