My 36 Ford 5 win has an original rear window shade/blind, it is in fair shape, still usable... Very carefully. I would make a wild guess that the majority of the pre '40 vehicles all had a very similar shade. Attached for your info are three pix showing what my shade looks like. My car is a late Aug 36 car..

I am not sure but you may try a fabric store such as Joanne Fabrics. If I remember correctly the tubes were sold in long lengths and then cut down to the proper length and the second end was installed on the wood like tube. The shade material was cut to length and width and stapled onto the wood like tube.

As far as i know the roller tube was metal not wood, original that was on my 36 coupe (original). It also was attached to the bottom of window and unrolled UP to cover the window. ken ct

It can be noted from the pix I attached that the blind/shade is attached at the bottom, extends up to a lug over the window which the tab on the blind attaches to. I don't recall ever seeing a wood shade, generally always metal. I have a '38 Buick 2dr sdn, an unmolested completely stock car with 47k on the odometer. The shade is very similar to my '36 Ford.

Gentlemen, thanks for the tips. The 1934 is from the top down. There is a nearby JoAnne's Fabric and will check with them. I posted a add for parts wanted but the individual was parting out a whole car? Will keep looking. Macs sell rear window shades for Model A but it not wide enough.

Not only a steel roller tube, but spring loaded inside to assist in retracting the shade. There were eyelets on the ends of the roller tube through which guide strings were threaded. The threads attached to the roller brackets and upholstery covered large-headed tacks at the bottom. The photo below is of an original shade in a '32 deluxe Fordor which will give a general idea about the guide strings and their placement.
