Default Victoria Fenders

My 31 Vicky fenders are pretty rough. I'll be looking for some shortly. Are there any other models that use the same fenders and running boards? Tudor, Fordor, coupe etc..
Are there differences from 30 to 31?

I'll start out, jump in if this info is not correct.

FRONT - '30-'31 use the same fenders but slightly different splash aprons. Just decide if you want a tire well or not.

REAR - '30-'31 Sedan, Victoria, Phaeton use the same fenders.

Anyone care to confirm or expand on that first answer?

And just so I get this straight, all 30-31 front fenders will be the same? or do you mean just Vicky fenders?
Are the splash aprons unique to the Vic?

Sounds like the rears should be no problem.

Thanks

The Victoria uses the standard '31 fenders in front, with the '31 splash aprons.

The rear fenders have the "dimple" stamped into the inside rear skirt to clear the body rivet used on the 160-A sedans. The rear fenders are interchangeable with the 400-A, 180-A phaeton, the Town Sedan & Deluxe Tudor.

The truly unique piece of sheet metal is the rear splash apron; it is not interchangeable with any other body.

Good thing I have a good rear splash apron.
Is 160-A sedan a term that I should understand as a Victoria owner?
Could someone suggest a thread or book/article so I can read up on model differences? Until I picked this car up, I really only had roadsters and coupes on my radar.

B-wals,
the 160-A designator does not refer to the Victoria, which is the 190-A.
Shoot me an e-mail at [email protected], and after the meet is over, I can send you more info, and an application for the Victoria Association.
