Venetian blinds? Anyone make custom blinds?

I know many here will talk down upon....But I dig custom parts and lowriders. I am looking to find somebody to make me a custom set for my 56 ford 2dr sedan and my 60 f100 big window.

 

This place sells blinds for chevys but maybe you can contact them and ask them if any of their blinds could be modified to fit your FoMoCos. Click on the link below

Thanks! I contacted them

 

Lowes believe it or not, or home depot. You give them the dimensions and then they will custom make them for you.

Some cars pull the blinds off real well. I used to see them in A coupes a lot, I think that it may have been an accessory at one time.

 

Yeah it was an accessory at the time. The only problem I will have is the rear gl*** in my 56 sedan and the 60 f100 wrap a lot and that angle might be a problem

 

Thanks for that info! They got back to me real quick and are very helpful

 

I would contact the blind man.

Or just do what ****** suggested.

 

The blind man? Automotive blinds?

 

easy to make a venetian blind, you just poke him in the eyes.

 

Any intellogent comnents?

 

It would be nice if someone could post some pix of vintage cars (stock or otherwise modified) with blinds. Sorry, I don't have any photos but I do remember them well. I always thought the more modern 50's cars with curved one-piece rear gl*** looked cool with a straight set of blinds in the center (straightest part) of the back gl***, leaning out at the bottom, and parallel to the gl***, so the blinds looked like stair steps.

Yes, pictures would be greatly appreciated! Preferably of 55-56 fords

 

Must.......resist........the urge..........

 

Saw their booth at Pomona last weekend. Seems like a good company with good workmanship.

 

To make them work you must have flat gl***. By design Venician blinds can't be curved, so I don't know how you would make them look good in the rear window of that 56 Ford.

Edit looked at the http://autovenetianblinds.com/ website, they are using several short sections to "kind of" follow the window. I don't care for the look.

 

Can't help myself!....Did you hear about the blind carpenter that picked up his hammer and saw?

 

When I was in high school I knew a carpenters dream! Flat as a board and never been nailed.

 

This is still a common accessory in Australia. They do have venetians that are curved. You may need to rummage around for companies down there who can fit your particular car, but it is AN option available to you if you want: http://www.ebay.com.au/bhp/rear-venetian
There may well be a set for your car, but made in Australia for that car, back in the day....

 

This is a little weird. In 1968 I had my first job in a gas station, one of our customers was an old couple who came in once or twice a year in a black 1950 Cadillac sedan that I bet they owned from new. It had a white venetian blind in the back window. It must have been a Cadillac dealer accessory because it was curved to fit the window. I never saw another venetian blind in a car, and up until today never heard anyone mention them.

 

How do you find a blind man in a nudist colony? It's not hard.

 

For all you wise guys... you may know how to make a Venetian blind but do you know how to make a fruit cordial?

 

I got my blinds from Ruben at www.autovenetianblinds.com. Great guy and great service.

 

I have set for my 46 Olds sedanette similar to Orn's 76. Still tossing up whether or not to use them?
