1915 Touring With Unusual Front Fenders

Post by J Sundstrom » Thu Jul 09, 2020 8:09 pm

Saw on Minneapolis Craig’s. Rest of car seems pretty original to me. Interior and top appear to be. You would have to look up for yourself to see all pics. No idea who is selling just found those custom fenders interesting and wonder who the mfg is.

Several mfg. of 'crowned' fenders for the flat front early T's to make them 'up to date'! Those front on that Craigs list T have the typical filler panel to the Ford splash shield.

Dan, those early ads for crowned style fenders are interesting. It certainly changes appearance of a brass era T. No doubt with the idea of making it look like the black era T’s. I see they offered for the 17 to 19 model years as well. Not sure there would be much benefit with those as they had crowned type.
Thanks, John

The automobile is nice, but look at this listing for that area.
