This has been interesting, I had to look at my invoice. It was built with the hard top, soft top and tonneau. That has been my reference all these years. When I was thinking Drop curtain I was thinking about the one that is part of the trunk liner set-up. There is one that hangs inside the trunk with matching trunk pattern.
 
Wow! If you go to any Tbird parts suppliers' websites and search "Drop Curtains," you will not find a "Drop Curtain" that matches the back-and-white plaid trunk mat to which you just referred. "Drop Curtains" are the same color as the car's interior. The tonneau cover should also be the same color.

That's why I was confused. The trunk curtain is not listed or sold separately. I had no reference for the interior curtain as I had never seen one.
 
On p.89 of Concours Parts catalog, you will find Part " 45457-RB Trunk Mat Set, which includes the plaid hanging curtain. $89.95 for the set. Concours frequently has 10%-off sales, and there's no tax, if you don't live in Nevada. Drop curtains can be found on p.4, and tonneau covers can be found on p. 5.
 
Yep; the original build sheet that came with the car listed the Tonneau cover for $ 15.00 !
