1954 Olds.

A aquintance has a 1954 Olds that was involved in an accident and needs new front fenders, etc.
His question is, will the 88 & 98 front sheetmetal interchange?
Thanx!

I believe the 88 and 98 front clips will interchange. The 98 had a longer wheelbase, but I believe all the length was ahead of the rear axle.

However; 88s and 98 have different fenders. 88s have a squared off wheel opening, while 98s have a teardrop shaped wheel opening, to match the 1/4 panels on coupes and convertibles.

i thought this had already been answered in another part of this forum, the fender will fit, but the wheel openning is different, charles coker, 1953 pontiac tech advisor.
