I am looking for front fenders for my 39 coupe I found some 37 but don't know how close and could be modified the car is going to be a street rod was to far gone to restore I am doing all the work myself so I am on a budget so don't know if I want to spend 2000 for a pair of 39 fenders the 37 fenders I found are 175 plus shipping thanks for any help on this

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.

I was told it was a 120 no title or vin number I don't have the front grill assembly either just the bonnet and side panels thanks for the info

The headlight mountings a different from a 37, the buckets mount on stands where the 38-39 buckets go directly on the fender I don't know about the grill shell mounting

Shawn, I also need a left front fender for my senior car. It is a 1506 1023. If you are not able to use the 37 fenders you located, please message me the location so I may follow up and see it they will fit my car. I found a set of 37 fenders but they are for a junior car and do not have the wheel wells that I prefer. would be will to swap if we can make it work for both.

I'm waiting for pics the guy doesn't know what they fit

I am also looking for '37 front fenders for a 115.
