The slant window sedan would probably have a dimple in the rear outer rear skirt of the fender . the fenders would interchange if show points didn't matter . Most model A venders probably have the dimple that can fairly easily be grafted in .

Does anyone have a picture of the "dimple" I'm looking for ? My car was wrecked and the rear fenders are smashed up pretty good , thanks . Also , the original owner said that he had a Lincoln gold seal engine installed in the early 50's , engine number looks hand stamped , has anyone heard of them ? Thanks.

Attached photo is of the dimple on the right rear fender skirt of a 31 Victoria, which is a slant window car. It is behind the rear wheel at about the 11 o-clock position. The dimple on the left side is a mirror image.
