Venetian Blinds WTB for '51-52 K Coupe

I presume Kaiser was offering a venetian blind option for the back windows of cars of their era as a factory approved accessory just as other brands offered. Or at least they were available in the aftermarket.
Would like to purchase a complete rear window venetian kit with all hardware for my '51 coupe. Thanks.

I don't believe that K-F ever offered venetian blinds for their cars at least they are not listed in the accessory price lists. Like fox tails and mud flaps and "necker" knobs for the steering wheel you would have to go to a place like Pep Boys or J. C. Whitney to find them aftermarket. I remember seeing them on Hudson's but never on a K-F product. Does anyone remember them? You could probably make a set by using the smaller size venetian blinds and cutting to shape.

Here's probably the closest you'll find to the blinds you're looking for. They were made by Kaiser Aluminum and are a one size fits all installation. I have a pair and have used them on my 4 door 54K.

Family friends had one of these on each door of their '57 Rambler station wagon, red, black and white, that they camped with. Unfortunate this isn't a matched pair for size. Thanks for the link.
On the side windows of this coupe I'd like to find the stainless steel visors known as "vent shades" - I presume Kaiser offered those?

Yes, exterior vent shades were an available accessory for Kaisers, Frazers and the Henry J. Regarding the two door cars, the two door sedan had four vent shades, one for each window but the club coupe only used two, for the front doors.

Anyone here know if one of the K-F parts vendors has a NOS set of vent shades for a '51 and later two door sedan? Thanks JoeF
