On the late 1/2" wide trim they made two types. One style hand rounded bullet end and the other style had pointed ends.

There was also 2 types of 1/2" wide fender moldings. Some had bullet ends and some had pointed ends.

The 1/2" is original for yours.

The 2 piece fenders are the later style and always had the 1/2" wide trim.

The 1/2" wide trim is correct for the late style 41 Mercury. In the 1/2" trim they had two styles. Ones with rounded ends and ones with pointed ends. Since they are stainless steel you can carefully work out the dents/ file and sand as needed/ then polish them out on a buffing wheel. There also companies that will do that for you also.

Wayne, We are all here to help our fellow members and those who love these cars. It is appreciated that you offer to help, thank you. Instead of your statement that appears to disparage the Club's 1941 Mercury advisor, have you reached out to him to share your knowledge with him? I'm sure he would appreciate your support. Ken

If you have any more 41 Mercury questions let me know. I have been researching information on these since 1973 and own a 41 Mercury convertible. I have information that the advisor does not even know about. My email is : squirefd@yahoo.com.

This is important as the later Fords had vertical seams and the Mercuries had longer fenders to cover the longer wheelbase all of which was in the front. The Fords beginning in 1942 then had a painted linen bead that ran over the top from the grille edge back to the end of the triangular apron of the fender. Are the Mercury fender contours more in the sense of the unflaterring term "flat fender" some times used in modern vernacular? I found my memory of those years had contours more like the 41 and even 40 in being rounded at the top. ooopsie! 40 years later. I just went to see the 1941 Mercuries (including one that is clearly a customized 1942 Ford) on a search and can see the 3-piece front fenders with both vertical and horizontal seams. Some of the customs may have the side horizontal seam welded when they lost their trim on that location.
