Ed your right , most cars in the 50's had them to keep from tearing their WW up.
There were also fender guilds for the wife when pulling in to the garage.

Re: accessories

That's right , it's a traffic light viewer. used mostly in the east coast area because they hung the traffic lights in the middle of the intersection. Most "cars" had a out side sun shade cover above the windshield which made it hard to see the traffic light and with the viewer it reflected the light in to it so you could see the traffic light with out bending your neck to see. Corvette never needed to use one.
The one shown is early pre-55.
