Let's see some skirts !

[1932 V8]

Ok, now that I have your attention I have been looking for some teardrop style skirts for my 36 . I know the originals follow the wheel well and I do not want that.I have been told these would be 39/40 skirts . It seems like the more I look, the more styles I find . I assume there are many different styles out there so lets see them . I have purchased 3 sets and they are all different. Some are more of a bubble, some are flatter, some have a reveal on the bottom. Post pics of 36 to 40 Fords with teardrop style skirts or just post the skirt by itself so we can see all the different styles . Please post the brand of skirt if you know it or identify one already posted if you know the brand .

I bought these first but I am now selling them . The outside of the skirt is exactly the same but the inside has 2 different mounting styles. I have no idea of the make .



I bought these recently and they are supposed to be original 40 Skirts . They look very nice and I am hoping the color is a close match to my 36 .



I bought these because they have the reveal on the bottom . They are flatter against the fender . Unknown brand .




And these were for sale . I would love to buy them but I could go broke buying skirts . I really like the look of them and they are supposed to be Foxcraft skirts. The two arms to pull them into the fender seams like a good idea .



That is all I have . Anyone else ??

I love skirts, both kinds actually but that's another story. As far as your skirts are concerned, the pair with the reveal on the bottom are Foxcraft, I have a set of them on our '39 CS however, I was lucky enough to get a pair of original Ford bubble (tear drop) skirts from Don Garlits and I'll be mounting them on the '39 CS after I get them painted. I don't believe any "fat fender" is fully dressed unless it is wearing skirts! Here is a photo of the '39 CS with the Foxcraft skirts on.

Hey Vic , Nice skirts !!! do you have any pics of the original ones you just got ?
Anyone have any pics of the ones from Jeff's ??

[Vic Piano]

I'll have to take some photos of the skirts I got from Don Garlits, they have a few small dents that have to be fixed before they can be painted. If I get a chance I'll take a photo tomorrow and post them. I also have OEM Ford skirts on our '47 Convertible, '39 LZ, '49 Cosmo Convertible and '53 Sunliner, as well as a set of Foxcraft skirts for the '53... Like I said, I love skirts

So at the risk of getting some flak, I have often wondered if my old panel would look good in skirts or should I leave that to the imagination?

thanks guys.

I think skirts would look sharp on the Panel. I've got a '53 F-100 1/2 ton Panel that I'm toying with the idea of making a set of skirts for. I say go for it!

This is mine.

I don't know the history on mine as they came with the car, unfitted. I believe they are repro '40. If they are they fit really well.

[Vic Piano]

That car is outstanding! I love the skirts and the hubcaps (are they single bar spinners or '38 LZ's? Hard to tell in the photo).

Sure would like to find a pair of Garwood's for my 34 coupe! They must be about the rarest of the non-approved accessories for the 34 Fords.

Thanks.

They are original single bar flippers for wide 5's. Clip straight on.

Thanks. I've been looking for a pair of those single bar flippers for the wide five
rims... Hopefully someone reading this may have a pair they are willing to part with... Again, that is a beautiful Coupe.

Yes, that is my E-Type, it's a '68 that my dad bought new, it has only 52,000 miles on it but, unfortunately, he let it sit a long time with gas in the tank... so, I've got the tank out and I have to do the brakes, etc. to get the car back on the road... Another project...

Ok so I guess I should think about putting a set on my panel.
