fender skirts

[captden29]

ebay has a set of fender skirts that fit a 1953 chrysler. they are metal and from a company called genuine fender skirts. is this an old company no longer in business? my real question is will they also fit a 54 chrysler as well? the seller was not sure. i think the rear area is the same fore both years but maybe someone could verify that. thanks, dennis

Here is a 54 Chrysler.

And here is a 53 model.....

Look like the same from here. Would think skirts should work.

Dennis, does your 54 have the same trim in front of the opening as the blue car pictured? Would that interfere with the skirts???

bob, good detective work. mine has the stone shield like the blue car so the 53 skirts will not fit properly. i think that blue 54 convertible is the same one i have seen on a magazine cover that i have at home. only about 730 of them were made, not many still around, especially in that condition. i was once told there are only 3 known to still exist. my 54 windsor convertible had a production run of 500 and i have only seen one other like it. i want wire wheels and fender skirts, but no luck finding any used ones:eek: at reasonable prices. thanks for the help. dennis
