Here's a little detail for you to look for when you are looking at side curtains. For the '28 touring car, because they had no outside door handles, the side curtains each had a little flap that you lifted up and reached into the car through, so that you could release the door latch on the inside and get in the car. This flap needs to be on each door side curtain panel.

If you look carefully, you will see them in the pictures that Don posted. The top corners of each flap are reinforced with a metal rivet. His picture file names end in "a" and "b" to show the two sides of each panel.

I guess you don't need these if you have added outside door handles to your car.

I am pretty sure that later models, with outside door handles, only have this flap on the driver's door (for example, to pay a toll through it without having to open the door).

Thanks to Don I was able to make some sketches with dimensions, but without originals right in front of yourself, they would be hard to exactly duplicate. I finally bought a set of repro side curtains on ebay a year or so back, but haven't tried them yet for fit.
