Topic: 39/40 rear wheel shields

  Were rear fender shields ever offered by Ford for the 39 or 40 Mercurys ?
I have a pair exactly the same shape as the 38/39 Fords but they are only about 2/3rds the size.

  Chris,

The rear fender wheel openings on he 39 Mercury is unique to that year. Th 1940 Mercury used another unique wheel opening. As far as I can tell, Ford did not offer fender shields for either model. The smaller wheel opening was meant to be a styling change so that shields were not needed.
