Got out camping with the 57 last week and boy was it HOT. Our dog sure likes car rides in it. With all the cancelled shows and cruise nights are you guys getting out in your cars for a drive to keep them happy and to get away from the house?

However, my question is for our 1950 Pontiac 2 Door , should we install an exterior Sun visor Or Not? I picked up a SANTAY aftermarket sun...
