    Looking to figure what these fenders came off from. Guy says 1927 model A Ford. Clearly he's a gearhead....
    But I can't find the right answer

  2. Looks a lot more like 1927/28 NASH. Are your fenders larger than Model A or T ford ?

    Not a Nash, the bead/ reveal is different and the front lip is longer on the nash.

    Closest I've come is 26 Whippet / Willys.

    Trying to find origin. Thinking of buying to set aside for a future use. Or p*** them on to an owner of the correct fitament

    1927 was a Model T Ford. A's didn't start 'til '28. Clearly, your 'gearhead' is some other kind of head. ('F')

    Correct. That and the one thing I'm sure of is they are not Ford.

    I know for sure they are not 25-26 Dodge brothers, just checked mine and not even close. Mitch
     
  9. Could still be a Nash; they used different fenders on different models in the same year.

    My best educated guess, I'm sorta kinda ? positive here, is a 1926 Overland Whippet like Jeff thinks. That's what I'm going with. I cheated and used "THE GOOGLE", they are CLOSE but not exact. the inner fender apron is different and the rears have a bit more curve at bottom,,they may have been worked a bit in the past though, maybe......Mitch

    Squirrel, I think you're on it. I looked at Hudson's earlier, but didn't get the right year. Closest on the relief and shape of the bottom of the rear fender.
    Now, the question remains, Do I want to store them for the future, or try to p*** them along to a Hudson restoration guy, or le the genius keep trying to sell them as model a
