WTB These Weird Window Louvers

Anybody ever seen a set of louvers like these?




I’d love to buy a set if anybody has a line on them. Very unique side panels. On a car currently for sale on FB marketplace in Elmira NY

Idk why but I was never a fan of the louvres on these cars. I do bet they are highly effective in reducing heat inside the car though perhaps? These were factory options as well were they not?

Yeah looks and a little added insulation are all they’re good for afaik. I do like the looks though.

The factory louvers and even other 3pc louvers I’ve seen don’t look quite like this on the sides though. Seems extra unique. Seller mentioned above doesn’t want to let them go separately.

Re: WTB These Weird Window Louvers

Yeah, those are aftermarket from back in the day. Don't know the brand. I don't care for 'em. but don't think there's anything wrong with 'em. I think there's a set available locally to me. I'll look.
EDIT.* -well I don't see 'em, but I'm looking for a GM set, so if I come across these, I'll post up.

Re: WTB These Weird Window Louvers

Just talked to the owner of the car pictured above; looks like the louvers were made by a now defunct company called Kobel, so fat chance finding any. Weird that she won't sell them separate when she's trying to market the car as an all original pace car clone.
