1960 coupe de ville

Hi All
        Just wondering if anybody knows if a rear interior blind was an option on the 59-60 coupe or is there someone making them to suit or will I have to make my own?
Thanks Jason.

I suspect they were aftermarket.
I remember seeing some cars with them, when I was a kid, but don't remember if those cars were Cadillacs.
There is no mention of them in the 1961 sales literature, but I can't speak authoritatively for '59 or '60.
If Hemmings has no listings (which I doubt, anymore), try your local home decorator store. They might be able to make something that fits. Installation would be another story...

Was not an option in 59. My 59 fleetwood was a las vegas car when i bought it. It had custom sun shades installed all around (except the windshield of course). The pass side was one long roll up blind whereas the drivers side was a two piece. The entire rear windshield was a one piece made with a custom frame and snap system.  Material is neat. Black on the inside and silver shiny on the outside with hundreds and hundreds of tiny perfs so you can see through from the inside but the sun is reflected on the outside.   Still have them up in my loft for some reason, but not factory options.
