Here is the picture from one of Palle‘s skirts with measurements (cm), so you can compare them with your skirt:

Yes , I also have 41 Buick skirts to compare to so if its a -41 Ford skirt it the first one I owned .  they were both cheap , I figured it was worth to buy just for the mechanism and evenutally reskin one or the other … -41 Ford skirts seems to be the hardest skirt to find , I never see them for sale ?

Funny , it looks like both skirts have had the Buick skirt trim , those seem to have been popular to use on any of the early skirts !

I wonder if there may have been more thn one shape for 1941 Buicks. Mine are different then the primered/dark colored skirt posted above. More like the light one. Perhaps different skirts for the smaller and larger Buick and the Cadillacs.

Here are my ’41 skirts on my ’41 Buick. This is a Special, the bigger cars may have used different skirts? But I don’t believe so.

Nice skirts , the bottom trim is for B-body -41 Buicks , Special , Century and Limited . The C-body -41 Buicks Super and Roadmaster have a different rocker trim and there for a different trim on the skirt . I got three sets of -41 Buick skirts and they are all the same shape so I dont think there were ever two different -41 Buick skirts (but Im not 100% , just never seen any) . I see that you have two different scalloped trims ,  that scalloped trim piece comes from the rear fender of a -46-48 Lincoln as a extension of the tail light headed forward with the “spears” instead of backwards as the -41 Buick . The -41 Buick scalloped trims came in two sizes on the -41 Buick , one 24″ich long for the skirts and one 21″ich long that was a option for the rear part of the rear fender , I never seen a -41 Buick skirt that didnt have the holes for the scalloped trim so maybe they were always on the -41 Buick skirt much like -41 Cadillac skirts always had the Cadillac medallion on their skirts …

Thanks for the Info Wolf.

It is a pity that there isnt a second buick scallop trim. Although i dont plan to use the trim anyway.

[Anonymous]

Not an 112 Appleton,  but same handle and in good condition.  Although there is the wrong ring on the housing.

Its in Germany so it may be a steal for someone.

Tobias, I may have a Buick fender scalloped spear. I will have to do some digging…

[Anonymous]

Mitch, im not going to use the trim. I already sold mine. But thank you

[Michu]

Mitch, i‘ve bought the spear from Toby, so if you maybe have one for the passenger side and you would sell it, i‘d be interested!

[Mild Mitch]

Michu, I will check but I am away from the shop for a few days. I will let you know what I have. I’m not sure If I will use the ones on my skirts or not. But I think I may havemore.
