Re: IML: 1967 sun-visor stitching

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

Interestingly, they had real stitching until about 1967. I need to take another look at my '68 convertible, though. I seem to think that it has real stitching, and that it is coming apart. If so, it may have a pair of older visors installed. I think my parent's '68 LeBaron has faux stitching on the sun visors. I could be wrong.
