Slightly oversize holes IMHO.

Re: Ford oddities on my car…. If it was originally RHD there will be 3 holes on the RH side of the cowl where the hand brake was attached.They may have been filled. SwoopNZ.

Re: Ford oddities on my car…. Some provinces in Canada were still RHD in 1938 - Newfoundland for one. I'm pretty sure I still have a RHD seat adjuster in my shed. Chris.NZ.

Looking for a pair of 39 deluxe lower hood trim. PN 91A-8264/5 Driver quality OK as long as the attaching lugs are not broken. Thanks, Chris.NZ. christompkins@xtra.co.nz

Have a look inside the hood.You should see where the holes were. Probably covered over on the outside by body filler when painted last.

March 1939 seems to be the cut-off date between early and later 39's. Because of the ongoing labour disputes at Briggs and Murray, Ford bought a lot of the previously out-sourced work back in-house. Early 39's front fenders have ( or had ) a more concave area between the grille and headlight...

Just throw a blanket over them meantime. Chris.NZ.
