All,
Does anyone know where to source the patterns and the hardware to duplicate the side curtains for my '29 Phaeton?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Happy New Year to all!

The side curtain hard ware consists of a simple vertical round bar with a square end that fits into the square hole in top of the door, Illustratiion 22 attached shows a typical side curtain rod. It not difficult to make by welding a short section of square bar to a round rod then bending it so that the rod is vertical when the square end in in the hole in the door.

Thank you David,
The rod does look pretty simple to fabricate, now if I can only find the patterns .................

Happy New Year!

I can't help with patterns, my Packard was a different model and it's sold however when I restored it the upholsterer made the side curtains to fit the car using photos of a similar model. I chose not to have the fold lines in the clear sections.
