Default Panel Between Rear Fenders - Fordor

What is that panel called that mounts below the rear of the body and between the rear fender on the 1928 and 1929 Fordors? Looks to me like its a filler panel. Also, where could a fella go to procure one?

Thank you gentlemen!

Rear Valance. There's some for sale in the Swap Meet section.

Are the rear valance panels different between Briggs and Murray bodies?

Anyone out there have a pic to post?

The back splash pans, or rear valance panels, are pretty much different for each body style. The ones I know are:

1929-30 Briggs fordor.
1929-30 Murray fordor.
1930-31 Victoria.
1931 Slant windshield fordor.
1931 A-400.
1930-31 Deluxe (2-door) phaeton.

I have attached photos of our fiberglass replacement ones.

Yes I was working under the name "Rear Splash panel" when I was looking for mine. As Karl says, there are at least four and only used on the models shown which not too many survived. I was going nuts looking for one I could live with at Hershey. I'd find one or two but they were overpriced or they needed too much work. I succeeded in finding a good for $100 the next year. I grabbed it on Wednesday morn soon after I arrived. The trip was worth it!
