venetian blinds on chevy cars? pics?

I am curious as to how 49-54 chevy cars look with rear window venetian blinds.... any one got any pics? Thanks, Nick

 

I saw one on "Living the Low Life" this morning on Speed, but I've never seen one before that.

 

Not a Chevy. I found it in Google images. I do remember seeing them in cars back in the day. They always seemed weird, but I guess it was all you could do before window tinting came out.

 

Hot rods, customs...blinds?

 

Check out Chevybombs.com, lots of cars there with rear window blinds.

 

never saw the blinds but as a kid I had an uncle with a 56 Buick that had window screens to keep the bugs out!

 

You use to not be able to give these away years ago, we had a bunch of NOS chevrolet ones. When e-bay came along , as a fluke I put one on for a 48 Chev never expecting more than the 9.99 I started it off at. Went up real fast . It got to 300.00 and a guy e-mails us and wants to buy it for 350.00 . We couldn't believe what was happening, so we took the offer. Soon as we did, another e-mail comes wanting us to take 500.00 for it and screw the other guy. We took the 350.00 offer because I am honest.Then we proceeded to kick our own behinds because we threw away at least 10 of those things! The lowrider guys really love them.

 

I have seen them on customs. I know....it's more of a lowrider thing, or a surf wagon thing...I just kinda dig em.

 

here is one for sale. it's not mine

I know it was hard to get a date if you had blinds in your car when I was a kid, well except with the real loose chicks. If you do blinds you'll definately need happy feet in the quarter gl***.

 

Yep, rear window blinds were popular in the 50/60s. Don't forget your embossed plastic seat covers, too. Gary
