Side Curtains for Model A 1929
 

Trying to purchase a set of side curtains for my Model A 1929. Anyone have a set for sale?

Also wondered if possibly there is a sewing pattern available that my wife could maybe make a set? Thanks, Dave

What body style is your 1929 Model A? If it's a 1928-29 Phaeton, I have a nice, full set of side curtains made in black Stay-Fast material, complete with the four curtain rods and carrying bag. The plastic windows are clear. If you have a roadster or roadster pickup truck, however, I can't help.

I have yet to find a pattern set for my 28 roadster. A friend of mine helped me do my top and now we are working on making a set of side curtains for the roadster. Funny thing is that the side curtains are almost as expensive as the top. Go figure. I bought my Cartouche top in 2015 for $450 and today's prices it is around a $1000.

A full set of side curtains in the Stay-Fast upgrade material for a 1928-29 Phaeton costs close to $2000 with a year's wait, as I understand it. And that's without the four curtain rods and storage bag. YIKES!!! Heck! I'd sell mine with rods and bag for 1/3 that, although used, still very nice.
By the way, the door side curtain should be the same between a 1928-29 Roadster and Phaeton. They are the same door, after all.

A couple of years ago an older couple were trying to come up with the same thing.They were capable,but preferred to find something to copy.I have a mid 28 phaeton,and told them they could copy mine.I put a clean sheet on a table next to the car in my cellar,and told them the curtains were under the floor in their tray.I told them to take their time,as I was working on the new house,so they spent a couple of hours tracing the curtains onto meat wrapping paper.(they used to own a little store)I did the same thing for a woman about 10 years ago with the curtains from my 30 standard roadster.I just turned her loose with her tape measure,camera,and notebooks.It'll be a little harder to get help without a location.You'll be missing the people that will say,hey,I'm only 20 miles from you,come on over.

David, I have a 30 Roadster and no side curtains. Yes, finding a replacement curtains is a major problem. Using available photos and cardboard, a pattern was completed. The local upholstery shop is back lodged and will not look at the project for at least six weeks.

Good luck

How many separate pieces should be in a 29 Model A Roadster's complete set of side curtains? Four? If anyone could shoot me a photo of all pieces removed from car or point me to a good illustration I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

David,

I will try posting some pictures of my curtains. David, I am having trouble posting the pics. Once it’s figured out I will do so.

David,

Having no luck posting pictures. I went thru my shop and found my patterns. My 1930 has all the curtain attachments on the top frame. Which made is easy to match those to the curtains. Send me a message and I will make another set and send to you via USPS.

David is looking for curtain patterns for a 29,not a 30.They are not the same at all.The only thing in common is the name.Unless I missed something???
