1917 Touring Side Curtains Plans

Would anyone have a set of side curtain plans with dimensions? That they would sell for a 1917 Touring Car. Thanks Jim

Jim,
I don't have drawings for original side curtains, but would be willing to loan you the patterns that I made for my 1919 high visibility side curtains.

The only similarity with original design is the construction materials and attachment points. I designed them with double sided zippers that unzip up, and zip down at both sides of each door for easy entry and exit. I don't like to drive with the top up, and original design side curtains have peep holes to see through. I decided that if I had to drive in the rain, I wanted to be able to see!

Check with Mike at Classtique. He has a pile of originals. I made a set for my '25 roadster a few years ago. I was lucky, I had the prints from the archives for all of them, and NOS original to go by.
