Title: 1934 Cadillac fender skirts
Post by: Cadillacbomber on February 22, 2024, 01:32:54 PM
Need my 1934 Cadillac experts intell on fender skirts. I picked up an original skirt and from what I can tell and see from pictures it s a 1934. Question is were these produced from the factory or were they made custom by the coach builders? I was able to have the left side made using the original right side as a template. Looking for another Cadillac dogdish cap which I know will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Any help gentleman will be appreciated.

      I have been looking at Cadillac Accelerator (Salesman's Magazine) from 1934-36,here is what I found.

 LaSalle wheel shields were introduced in June 1934.They were sold through the Cadillac Dealers. They looked close to what you have. They differ in the raised area around the cap is a little more pronounced and the car attachment is flimsy by comparison.A special Supplementary  sheet was issued.(nice picture of back side,If you want a copy,send me a email of your address)
   In the Jan 1936 issue there is a picture of one on a car that looks like yours ,including the Cadillac cap. I the article it says to be sure and put them on 3660 cars in the auto shows.

Is the wheel cutout the same 34 La Salle to 36 Cadillac 60?

Warren,

To get access to the online International Membership Directory, you need to open the CLC Main Site, at the top of the page, that is the heading page for the Forums, then go to the Members page, and a "Drop-down" will list the various things, and the International Membership Directory is there.

It is in a PDF form, and about an 11MB size download.   I saved a copy to my computer for immediate access.

Bruce. >:D
