Re: Victoria Association window shades
The Victoria Association had shade cloth reproduced. It was beige in color and had an intricate diamond pattern.

I do not think that they would work in a straight window Town Sedan. The Victoria used a 26" rear curtain and the side curtains would be to wide for you sedan.

Re: Victoria Association window shades
Hi Bill, next time you're down at the shed could you please get a photo of the shade cords/ fixing positions on the Victoria. Mine just has the rear window shade but I have a second set of three which I'm considering selling. Regards Richard Morse

Re: Victoria Association window shades
To answer the original question, I would think a set of three would bring around 600.00 to 800.00. That seems like a lot of money but I'd bet you would sell them very quickly. I paid a little more than that a couple years ago from a very well known and respected Model A Collector that has since passed away. Art

It is great to hear from you. Here are 3 pictures of the curtain cord. 2 pictures from my Vicky and the button is from another original Victoria. Generally speaking, Leatherback Vickie's have 3 curtains and Steelback's have one on the back window.

Re: Victoria Association window shades
Hi Bill
Thanks for the photos. It always pays to check an original car! My steel back just has the rear shade. If you know of anyone doing a fine point restoration on a Victoria that is looking for a set of three shades let me know. I'm chasing other original parts so it's now time to sell the second set I have. Hope you and Liz are both keeping well. I'll PM my new email address. Best regards Richard |

Re: Victoria Association window shades
Bill, You helped me restore my Victoria with pictures of your original Victoria. There is nothing like the original. Have you ever posted about the history of your car? Thanks, Art
