Have any cars ever been supplied new with antimacassars? Or did the widespread use of headrests, especially fabric ones, not come about until such things would have been considered too fuddy duddy?

Only car I remember seeing them in was a Toyota Century - no idea if they were factory fit or not though!

Very common in Japan, in taxis and on public transport. Quite a large proportion of cars have them and they are readily available as either an OEM or aftermarket part.

Two qualities are available from Toyota for the Century, there's a cheap set (presumably for carriage trade) and an expensive set with finer lace and construction/fit/finish.

Interesting, although I'm not a fan of the lace.

Anything with a logo on? Something like they have on trains?

In Japanese motorists shops there's lot's of generic choice in funky fabrics and designs, so it's not all lace doilies style.
