Seaside Pete Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 Can someone tell me what chrome trim is used for the rear fender of a p15 4dr sedan as in the picture below (not the stone guards, the Strip) ie; what vehicle it is from. Thanks Pete Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 that is the fender trim off the D24 Dodge......it is reported that dealers would install this trim on the Plymouth's to dress them a bit for sales boost... Quote
Young Ed Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 Look again guys. I believe that is a 46-48 Ford and would likely then be Ford trim. 1 Quote
knuckleharley Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 Young Ed is correct. It is a 46-48 Ford sedan. Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) yes..but as he has a P15 and the trim strip is not common to the P15 in stock form odds are his picture was to show location only....I am also sure he knows it is not a P15 pictured..but the validity of his questions still stands...as for the P15 what trim was used...again the answer is D24..at least this is how I read his post...

I don't think the car even has trim in that location. The ford has a body line there and the appearance of trim is just that line showing. 8 minutes ago, knuckleharley said: Sorry,don't have the first clue. I believe that is David Maxwells car before he traded up to a P15. I know he liked to photograph his P15 in front of that same building. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 if the rear trim is a photo anomaly the car pictured above....it is a good one...fools my tired old eyes..... Quote

Not sure on that. I googled for more images and lots of them do have trim there and also lots of them just show a body line. If that is really a David Maxwell car it probably had the trim. Quote

Dan Hiebert Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 If I understand the question correctly; I assume the P15s were not available with a rear fender spear. So if someone wanted to dress one up with one, they would not be able to find a trim spear with the same cross section as the rest of the trim on the car, simply because it doesn't exist. But, since the rear fenders are the same across all 1948 Chrysler products, one could either use fenders from Dodge, Desoto, or Chrysler, and the spears from any of those cars. Or - drill holes to mount said trim in the original fenders. Would probably boil down to good old personal preference. We'd have to see the trim Seaside Pete is actually referencing to know which car it came off of originally, but if he is actually referencing the photo, that is indeed a molded feature in the fender, not a piece of trim.

pflaming Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 I've never read a better "ops" than plymouthy's! Yet I must say, I'm not surprised that he did not recognize a nice Ford. LOL Quote
Seaside Pete Posted September 30, 2016 Author Report Posted September 30, 2016 Sorry guys, I knew it was a ford. I suppose I should have searched out a P15. I was only using that picture to show the part I was looking for as Plymouthy suggested. I'll try again. Plymouthy, is that a trim from the REAR fender on a D24? Thanks Pete 1 Quote
Don Coatney Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 My D-24 does not have any rear fender trim. But it is not the fancy model. Other fancy D-24's do have read fender trim. Quote
Seaside Pete Posted September 30, 2016 Author Report Posted September 30, 2016 Thanks for that Don. Just looked at some images on google, and noticed 4 doors with the trim piece and coupes. Do you know if either would fit my p!5? Pete Quote
Don Coatney Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 I do not know if the Dodge trim will fit on a Plymouth. You might investigate 1941 Plymouth fenders. They are a bit fancier than the P-15 fenders and I believe they are a direct bolt on. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 yes D24 rear fender trim from a Custom series,,,my D24 Town sedan has them factory....I have a second set here that I was going to put on my P15 Bz Cp but am not so sure I want to now.....along with as nice set of fender skirts that are not going on...but I still have two more P15's here so there is hope yet I may use these products..

I hope the man who asked is pleased knowing the source for the trim....what's in your wallet Edited September 30, 2016 by Plymouthy Adams Quote

Don Coatney Posted September 30, 2016 Report Posted September 30, 2016 Town sedan is non suicide rear doors. Quote
