There is an idea. Finding an original in good condition could probably get interesting though. The glass is all clear so I would need to find some of the old 50's window shades or clip on sun screens to go with it. Anyone remember the sun screens? Very thin metal with rows of slits maybe a 1/16" wide by 1/2" long.
Here is the venetian blind from the 46 accessory brochure. I think Packard's copywriter is optimistic about the full vision being maintained at all times -- unless they are adjustable. Think a short driver might have different needs and angle on the slats than a tall one. Guess it doesn't matter though. The window is so small and high, looking to the rear is not that great to start with.

there is an accessory you may want to scare up or copy - a venetian blind for the rear window. I saw a 47 Clipper with one.
