Window roller shades

Post by jaybee47 » Tue Apr 09, 2024 8:42 pm

Is there a company or companies that sell window roller shades for antique and vintage cars? I am looking for patterned vinyl or cloth shade material for my Towncar. From what I can tell, only plain vinyl shade materials are available from Model A parts vendors. Am interested in fancier window roller shades. Thank you for any leads.

What year is the Town Car?
Hard to reply and give advice with so little information.
Neither cloth shade or patterned vinyl would be correct.

Mike. Thank you for the reference and will make contact.
Peter. 1917. Currently it has plain light gray vinyl shades...but I prefer something fancier...may be incorrect...but it is what I like. :) :)

You're welcome, Jay.

As it says at the bottom of every one of my posts, knowledge that isn't shared is wasted knowledge.

I hope they come through for you.

Mike.

I think you will be happy with Heritage. They fabricated some shades for my Model A Victoria and mimicked the original fabric pretty well. The tassels they used look like the real deal (but that is a Model A thing). Be specific about what you want when talking to them.
