Ricardo,
I have a set off of a 1956 Cadillac Seville..the frame looks to be about 42.5 Cm. long?

The visor rods for a 1956 Eldorado Seville and a Eldorado Biarritz have different ends. They are not interchangeable between models.

Hi John,
I know the mount is different between the Seville and the convertible..but isn't the rest of the visor the same?

Anything out there for sale that you may not need? I don't really care about condition as I'm not making a show car but a daily driver to enjoy.

I was lucky to have these extras in the trunk when I purchased my 56 Seville 25 years ago. I believe they were a dealer option for the Seville, for the Biaritz the polarized plexiglass were I believe standard  ( makes sense when the top is down) the ones assembled in my then  interior were the standard type with same material matching the headliner. the brackets are the same for both, only the stems being different. I bought the Plexiglas visors from Good Ol' Rick Smith in Longview Texas ( I think he was reproducing them ) and he charged me an arm and a leg. Saw a pair go on Ebay a few years ago for big bucks also. If anyone knows the current price tag I am curious to know. I just had a friend polish everything and he did a good job...it was free so Im not gonna complain. The rivets in the inner housings that held the original sunvisor in place out of the factory had to be drilled out , so Im guessing small machine screws with rubber washers need to be replaced hopefully not cracking the visor. Im probably gonna add some clear silicone in there as well so I don't over tighten the screws. If there's any more ideas to install these dinosaurs, I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks

I know you can buy new reproduction plexiglass for them for $68. I seen them  on the Cadillac "USA Parts Supply" catalog not too many days ago.

So by the way do anyone here have an extra set of visor arms to sell? Don't need to be perfect. Anything will work for me as it just going to be a daily driver. Ok if the plexiglass is missing.
