plexi glass wind wings

W Williams
I am wondering if anyone remembers the plexiglass wind wings that were after market accessories on the old side curtain sports cars from the 50's and 60's? These things clipped to the windshield posts and were outside the side curtain when they were installed. I don't know how effective they were but have to believe they worked fairly well because we always saw a lot of MG's and TR 3's with them. I've been looking at all the mags to see if anyone offers them anymore and came up with zilch. I bet they might help with top down Speedster wind buffetting. I would think they would be fairly easy to make, any industrious Speedster guy listening?

Reminds me of some nice clip on plexiglass visors I saw on Chuck Honodel's car at the NCKCC event earlier this year. They looked like they might help with the wind issue in addition to the tinted plexi offering a little bit of help with the sun.......they looked very nice; Chuck made them himself.
