    Need Help To Identify Fender Skirts. These appear to be some late 1940's or 1950's Fender Skirts
    They are 34" long tip to tip. They are a bit taller on one end and measure 10 1/4" on the tall side. I have looked for stamps but don't find any. Thanks in advance

    Pretty sure these are universal overlay skirts, I've got an identical set. The giveaway are the spring steel rods on the ends instead of something that goes into a slot, these were made to fit whatever didn't have a body line in the way.

    I thought that but when i looked at shoebox skirts they come down much lower in the front and back?

    I also wanted to add that the skirts I posted pics of fit my 1950 Ford. I think squablow is also correct that they may fit other cars. Any other thoughts?

    I had a box label from the original packaging of a set of these at one time that listed off all of the cars they would fit (some cars would only fit the lower trim level models, because a molding would get in the way), shoebox Ford was definitely one of them but there were a lot of cars listed. They basically fit anything that the skirts would cover the opening without hitting anything, the box may have even suggesting bending them lengthwise to make them fit tight against the body if need be. I wish I still had that label/list, it'd be helpful now.
