I love it when a plan comes together.
We're finished with the door panels, headliner, sun visors, carpet and seat covers. We've encountered a minor snafu with the window U-channels and guides - rusted and just plain poor. So, we'll tackle the windows before applying the window frames, door handles and window cranks.
"Doc," our 1950 9G Studebaker Champion, is at Gonzalez Upholstery for his headliner, door panels, and other interior installation work.
Below is a picture of the interior sun visors. The material is too warn for repair, but the cardboard backing and the framing will take to new covers just fine. Also shown is the backseat in its current condition. The original material was tan mohair.
I've been searching for a Fulton Sun Visor for my 1950 Studebaker Champion, but I'm at a loss to find one for sale that is in decent condition.
An alternative is a reproduction sun visor from Big Jim's of Whitney, Texas. Big Jim's sells a Studebaker one-piece visor with brackets and a chrome front trim for $249.

If you have a sun visor/sun shield, you might find yourself strained to see traffic signals. The solution is a traffic light viewer or prism that can be mounted to the dashboard of your Studebaker.
