    yep, one touring runs around on here pretty often, racing.

    I had '29 fenders on a 1927 roadster PU in the late 60's.

    Ex may still have pictures

  5. I think that one is on an 'A' frame as well but I could be wrong?

    That makes for a good looking car as far as I am concerned. There was a 27 roadster with A fenders running around the PNW for a long time that I used to see every year at the Vintiques Northwest Nationals in Yakima every year that I really liked.

    I like it, but the rear fenders appear to have been bobbed to make it more Model T like... I'm not sure I would have done that.

    I suspect they have been "tipped" or "rolled forward" to fit body better. (but I sure don't like that look,)

    I have been unable to find a steel 26-27 for a touring....did not want to go glass..I need drivers rear . If I cannot find a reasonable one I will put the A rears on.

    Thanks for all the input.

    If I were to 'fender' my '27 tub, I'd put it on a rolling '28/9 'A' frame with the fenders, and lengthen the hood. Just like that black gem a few above...
    There was a cool roadster pickup at the old Baylands strip that grabbed me...
    He circled us, and I exclaimed, "Hey, that's a '27!" (chopped posts and overall wheel-to-fender fit was so cool I thought it was a 'massaged' '29)
    Could have been a 'factory special' between years...'early '28'... LOL
