The bottom of the rear fender is rounded like a beaver's tail. I doubt you need a photo to imagine what that would look like.

The rear end of the Beavertail are narrowed down for 7-8" (guessing) from the end. Picture and some info in this old thread:

Here's one of Gary Karr's pictures, showing where the tail end of the fender (extended past the body) is narrowed down.

Do you know when you car was built? According to the judging standard beavertail rear fenders were used through March 1928. I do not know if the March 1928 date is absolute. Ford I believe used up parts until they were gone so there might be some variance to the March 1928 date. I am no expert. There are people on here that know a lot more about the early cars that I do. Good Luck

Beaver tail fenders were only used on early 28 Coupes, Roadsters, and Pick Ups, not on Phaetons or Sedans.

Re: Beavertail fender’s
Gary was that because those bodies had no sheet metal up against the fender on the rear downward slope ? Mike Brauch over on the MAFCA site has his early 28 yellow RPU for sale and it has the beaver-tail fenders. Those early "A"s sure had a lot of odd-ball features.

Re: Beavertail fender’s
I finally got a chance to check my fenders on my ‘28 Roadster Pickup.
They don’t have the notched out area so they are not the Beavertail style.
My gas tank is not stamped with a date unfortunately.
My engine is dated November ’28 but who knows if it’s really the original.
I’ve not checked the frame number yet.
I do have an early front fender and a later front fender.
I only know the history on my truck from 1960 on though.
