41 parking lights

[mrtexas]

Haven't seen 41 parking lights like this. Thought they were on the top of the fenders?

They changed during the year. While I used to own a business coupe, like your Avatar I'm not sure which was early or late. I'm certain others will say.

Could be wrong, but i've been told that early had 3 piece front fenders and late 2 piece fenders.

Note the Mercury car spears on the top of the fenders where the parking lights are normally positioned. The parking light housing shown are also Mercury and may be the 1946 versions although it is hard to tell from the photographs.

The 3 piece fender was discontinued very early, on 12/12/40 for the '41 vehicles. In January of '41, trim moldings became available to cover the joint between the fender top and bottom. I can't find any mention of the parking lights being changed to the '42 style.

I take notice of all '41s and have never seen one with parking lights not on the top of the fenders.
