Need help identifying front fender

Post by frank.koonce » Fri Feb 24, 2023 7:14 pm

Hello, I have a 1915 runabout that needs a right front (passenger side) fender. I have what I think is a correct left fender, with three rivets, a bill, and a flat top. A friend brought me the red fender, which also has three rivets, thinking that it was what I needed. However, as you can see in two of the attached pictures, it is wider than mine and has a bill that is shaped differently. I am thinking that the red fender may be off of a speedster or a torpedo. I would be very grateful if anyone could solve the mystery.

I believe the wider fender is a wide track fender for a wide track T seen here.

Ed, I agree with you those wide track Fords were sold mainly in the southern states

Wide track. I might be interested in it. I have an early 15 widetrack. The fender was severely damaged @ some point in its life & has the scars on the underside to prove it. Interestingly it has 4 rivets holding the mounting bracket.
