Shawn, I looked back on your previous posts to see which model '39 Packard you have. I was not able to tell, but for this discussion I will assume it is a junior model, either a One-twenty (8-cylinder) or One-ten (6-cylinder). The '39 and '37 juniors have completely different bodies. The body change occurred with the '38 models. I think that '37 fenders will not fit properly on your '39. I do know that the '40 front end sheet metal will fit a '39 and suspect the same for '38. This would require the whole fender and grille assembly change. Fenders only, I don't think are interchangeable between any of the years because of different grille designs. If so, this will give you three model years from which to choose if you want to change out all the front end sheet metal; otherwise I believe you are stuck trying to find '39 only fenders. If your Packard is a senior model, Twelve or Super 8, then it would be a whole different discussion. Others here may have direct experience and can better advise you.
