Featured History Show off your skirts ( fender skirts that is )

The 47 Mercury I bought has 2 pairs of fender skirts in the trunk . One set is longer than the other set . The shorter set was on the car at one time . The screw holes that the po drilled in them and the fenders match up .

 

I only have one skirt so far.

Anybody have pics of pickups with skirts?

 

I ran the stock skirts on my 60 Thunderbird with the chrome wheels but took them off when I ran the Torque Thrusts. Wheels and skirts changed the look of the car.

When asked why all my cars have skirts (or "spats" as we call them), I just refer them to an ancient Chinese proverb-
"There is no reason why a car's rear wheels need to be seen".
