Re: IML: 1967 sun-visor swap

[Mark McDonald <tomswift@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a bit off subject, but . . .

As a child, one of the things I remember most vividly was the stitching 
around the edges of a Chrysler and Imperial sun visor.  At the time I 
first saw it I thought it was real stitching, but later I realized it 
was not; it was only molded to look like real stitching.  Still, this 
is a detail no other car company (to my knowledge) bothered to include 
on their own sunvisors.  Most of the GM products at that time had (and 
still have) rather thin & flimsy sunvisors that looked like cardboard 
covered in cloth.  Only the Imperials & Chrysler products has these 
thick, high quality visors with the stitching around the edges.

For what it's worth . . .
