greg g, Thank you for the information. Could the Dodges have been ordered with a squeak pad at each fender or did they all come with the beaded welt? I only ask because the car appears to be very original, but I could be wrong. Thank you again.

Earl, thank you for the clarification. shel_ny, Thank you for the information and the pictures.

casper50, Thank you for the information. traveller816, thank you for the information and pictures. DonaldSmith, thank you very much.

Rich, thank you for the replies. There is no chrome or vinyl welting. What I have seen on the car almost seems as though there is some sort of material (possibly rubber) sandwiched between the rear fenders and body. Thanks again. Gerald.

Mike, thank you very much! Gerald.

Another question I have about the 46-48 Dodges is about the carburetors. I have learned that the Dodge cars that have the three-speed with fluid coupling have a carburetor with a dashpot to slowly bring the engine back to idle to prevent it from stalling. What do these carburetors look like and what would their number be? Also, what is the easiest way to identify these carburetors? Thanks in advance. Moparfan283348

Rich, thank you very much for your response. On the Dodge I am looking into it appears that there is some sort of material between the fender and the body but no bead. Could this be an aftermarket welting? Thanks again. Moparfan283348

Hello All, I am trying to figure out if a 1948 Dodge Custom Sedan I'm looking at has original fender welt or not. I read on another post that the original welt was cotton or a material similar to this. Would this type of welting have stuck up like the modern vinyl type or would it look more like a "gasket" between, for example, the rear fenders and body? Thanks in advance. Moparfan283348
