Bob40 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Are the 3 front fender trim spears different lengths between models?A relative has a New Yorker and I found a Windsor in a small salvage yard that has the trim.I believe the New Yorker should be longer but need to confirm.Not going to remove the trim unless it will work.

JACK M Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I think they are the same lengths as the extra length in the fenders is behind the wheel opening.I have about four sets of those and will be picking the best ones for my project and then the spares will be available.

JACK M Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 After a productive day yesterday I can confirm that these three trims are indeed the same between the New Yorker and the Royal.I have two complete sets available but will need re-chroming.I also have real nice side trims for the four door cars. excluding the rear fender trim which is already sold.

jcmiller Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 The parts numbers are the same for all 1946-48 Chryslers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest markrush Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I have been curious about a couple things:Some Chryslers have two and some three vertical bumper guards and some none. Were these options the customer could choose?Also, it has always bugged me that the center bumper guard is angled in the back. It catches the eye, looks asymmetrical and serves no function. Is this just some designer's whim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christianad1156 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I have a copy of a "body models and accessories" booklet that mentions the front center guard as an option. There's no mention of a rear center guard though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c49er Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 It's very rare to see a 1946-8 chrysler with out a front center guard. Never seen one with a rear center guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
