Title: 41 special deluxe fenders
Post by: notdavidspade on July 01, 2008, 07:41:37 PM
I have a question, after getting my body panels back from the sandblasters, I've noticed that my drivers side has a trim piece on the bottom rear, and the passenger side does not.  Any ideas?  I figure one has been replaced over the years, but I'm not sure which one.  Thanks for the advice.

Stephen,
My '41 P12 wagon has the stainless trim pieces on the bottoms of both front fenders. I have various contemporary magazine advertisements for '41 Plymouth wagons that show them both with and without that trim.

This stainless piece came in a "package option" on the P-12's
If I can drum up the MoPar part number, I will list it later.
The passenger side seems to be the one that is always missing, or damaged. They were attached VERY well to the fender, and if a driver got too close to the curb, or what have you, this molding took a beating. Often, the owner would simply remove this molding instead of looking at it in poor condition.

Hmmm... then I don't suppose anyone has a pair of these trim pieces laying around.  Trim is very low on the priority list right now.  Still looking at paint and body work at this point.  Thanks for all the info!

I currently have one set in stock, they are quite pricey though...
Maybe someone will have a set that they do not have a lot invested in. At least you are not in a hurry for these, so some may surface.
Best of luck
