Why? And most mind bending of all. They shortened it then put a continental kit on it

Single to dual master cylinder conversion

Here is where I’ve gotten my information…
Has anyone ever seen a screen/ shade for the back window
This was in the trunk of my 64 imperial, I’ve never seen anything like it before, it fits the back window perfectly and there are mounting brackets, looks aftermarket, you can see through it
