I would like to know from some one if 1930 and 1929 rear fenders are the same. I have a friend who wants to use 1929 rear fenders on his 1930 two door sedan that were on a 1929 tudor sedan. He wants to buy the 29s from me and wants to use them on his 30 two door sedan. Thanks for the help

29 rear fenders are diff. then 30-31 fenders & not interchangeable. The radius that fits around the splash apron is diff.
 
Saw a '30 Coupe with '29 FENDERS/SPLASH SHIELDS/RUNNING BOARDS----"Did they fit easily"?----"Don't know, I bought it that way"!
Car looked a little "ODD"!

I've seen 29 fenders with more of a cutout to accommodate the larger 30 splash apron. you could do this in a pinch but you couldn't go the other way.

The '28-'29 fenders are NARROWER!
My '29 & my '30 5 Window coupes, side by side, are like DIFFERENT cars! MOST body parts WON'T interchange!
Many don't realize that Model A bodies were "re-designed" at the end of the '29s! Side beside, they look like a "FULL" sized & a "MID" sized car. '28 & '29 were chosen for Dry Lakes cars, because of the SMALLER frontal areas. BUT, to many, they still have that MODEL A "LOOK"!

I made the same mistake! I have a 29 RH sedan rear fender in good shape, for sale. $75. I didn't realize they were different. Live and Learn!
