In looking in the Ford parts book the rear fender numbers listed for sedan and station wagon rear fender trim is different. Does anyone know the difference? I have a two door sedan and I'm in need of the driver's side finder trim. I've seen some on e-bay for station wagon. Mine is 52.5 inches long. How long is the station wagon? Thanks

I don't have the dimensions for the length of the 42-46 station wagon rear fender trim. However I do know that the rear fender trim for the station wagon is longer than that was used on the sedan. You need to find rear fender trim that will fit the convertible, coupe, sedan coupe, two door, or four door sedan as those are all the same size on 42-46 Fords.

The 42 wagon rear fender trim is approximately 57 inches long. I don't think it can be cut down is it is curved to match the contour of the fender.

Thanks, that helps. The person selling them on e-bay (for someone else) says they were about 57 inches. I couldn't believe they would be that much longer, but now I know. David

When I had a mishap and ruined 2 pieces of trim (rear fender and door), I was directed to a fellow that specializes in 42-48 Fords. He had NOS trim for me and reasonable. I think Charlie NY (?) told me about him. I am away now and can look up his name when I get home. One thing I can remember is he lived on Hoodlumhill road in western NY. John

You are probably referring to Charlie Schwendler. His contact info is in the Club roster. Trim is available from vendors such as Drake. Most is acceptable, but not in the class of the original stainless steel.

It will almost surely have to be NOS or salvage trim because most vendors only stock 47-48 fender trim.

I got a piece from Mark about 8 years ago. I have a friend who got some him this year, so he must have more. He is the man to contact for anything like that
