    I am pretty sure they will, but wouldn't do that to a Nomad. Width has to be the same, curvature of the roof too, so I would say yes it fits, but... .

    Hard-top will fit a lot better.

    The windshield/ roof is different, from a sedan to a hardtop that a Nomad is.

    That is not even close to traditional. No respectable car freak would have run one of those things in the 50's or 60's. Maybe someone's grandpa who still thought bolting crap on a car was "customizing". While you are at it I see Autozone is running a sale on stick on port holes this week.

    Both the pics shown show why you shouldn't do it to a Nomad. My vote is also a no. First the visor, then the curb feelers and that gas station bathroom towel dispenser looking air conditioner thingy, Dingle balls and spot lights that don't light soon follow. It's a slippery slope downhill into the abyss! Nomads are not Bombs. Sell the Nomad to one of us and go buy yourself a 4 door 48 Plymouth. :)

    The only difference in the windshields I am aware of is that the sedan w/s is 5/8 of an inch "taller" than a hardtop. Learned that the hard way. I don't see how that affects the fit of a visor.

    Nomads don't need much. Wish I still had mine. Ansen Sprints, new paint and a 427 4 speed was all I needed way back when wagons weren't cool. Oh, and the Shelby snake emblem on my glove box from a guy who thought he was fast :)

    Hey Smokin Joe Blow,
    Nomads are always cool. Looking at your photos of your 'Mad just brings me more heartbreak for selling my 55 Nomad, which I sold back in '83 for 1,400 big ones. Dumbest thing I have done to date.

    I found this on another forum....Believe it, or not..

    here is a correct 55-57 hardtop and Nomad outside visor. Notice how it has a less than 90 degree angle at the corner where the stainless ends, about 70-60 Degrees. Sedans have a 90 degree. 4dr hardtops look like this, but is about 1/4" to 1/2" longer vertical, but has same degree angle as a 2dr hardtop visor. All sedans 2dr and 4dr's have a longer vertical 90 degree.

    These visors have the contour outline of the A pillar at the corners...so when you mount the visor, it should follow the A pillar out line!

    I have a 4 door hardtop visor, I thought that it was shared with the nomad...
    but from your post I gather that there are 3 different visors:
    hardtop and nomad
    4 door hardtop
    2 and 4 door sedan, and wagon.

    so my 4 door hardtop visor will only fit that , nothing else?

    Tri fives have way to much shit bolted onto them from the factory already, don't add to it.
