Default Re: Model A Ford Fender Debate

Ford Dearborn and the assembly agencies around the US didn't have variation on fender & running board apron unless it would have been a special fleet order. Most fleet orders would have been commercial vehicles in that era. Mexico had an assembly agency beginning in 1925 but they were likely building up knock down kits from the US in that time frame. There is not much information about the early production in Mexico so it's hard to say. I wouldn't say no but I would say that it is doubtful.

The fender wells in the body were even painted black to match after a time. The early cars had body color there but customers complained since it was visible through the wire wheels and dealers started painting those areas for the customers until Ford made the change.
