It's Curtains....

[Doug Gilman]

Does anyone know where to get curtains for '67 M&M Caddy?

Are you looking for swag or airline style? Several members have remade their own airline style curtains. They're fairly easy to make. The toughest part can sometimes be finding a good fabric for them.

i have curtains from a 68 m-m. they should fit a 67 also. i just took photos of them yesterday, as well as some other various hearse curtains that i had laying around. someone attempted to dye these curtains purple, but the dye didnt totally take, i guess so they are various shades of purple & cream. they have the snaps in place still and are in good shape except for the color. im not sure if they can be dyed again and come out a solid purple or if they can be bleached back to the cream color that they should be. they are a complete set, consisting of 6 drapes and 3 swags. if the color couldnt be corrected, they would be good for a pattern. if these interest you at all i can email you a photo.

Airline style curtains have just two pieces, one on each side. Swag curtains have an extra piece that goes along the top as well. Here's a pic of three M-M combos. The two on the ends have airline style curtains and the one in the middle has swag curtains.

For the swag curtains, what holds up the center curtain? Is there an extra curtain rod.

And what better examples are these three fine cars!

 

[Darlene Daniels]

swag all the way

In reply to Sarah Snook - I like the Swag - looks more detailed.

I'm the last person who can make curtains. I was hoping someone may have old ones for sale.

My interior is Black and Gray - needs restoration. So I don't even care if they are tattered at the moment - it would give something to hang for Halloween.

Thanks
