[QUOTE=KULTULZ;1632162]I don't know for certain, but I think only the wheel shields were available OEM.
That's not to say they were not available or were dealer add-on. Sorta in the same league as CONT KITS.

Like mentioned by Ole Don, I don't think they were even offered in aftermarket until '57 or so, inspired by the Mercury Turnpike cruiser. Sal
Well now I know how to approach this issue. Thanks men.
