Question:
Can you tell me if 1956 Mercury Montclair Convertible Inner Fenders will exchange to a 1956 Ford Fairlane Convertible & use the 1956 Ford Fairlane Convertible fenders?
Thank you for your time.

So, what you are wanting to do is put a front FORD clip on a MERC?

You also have to take into account the core support, hood and fender alignment with the cowl panel and door edge.

I wouldn't be surprised if the inners are the same. When I was a teenager I rear ended a car with my '53 Merc. There were not any Merc front clips available (this was 1963) but there was a '54 Ford front clip in the local yard. It bolted right up. I'll admit it looked a little funny but the car drove just fine and got me to school and work.

I was asking if the 56 Merc Inner fender except 56 Ford fenders?
Thank you for your time.

OK, ... I see now what you are asking. Personally, I would say no.
