Ordered a pair of NOS Foxcraft primed steel skirts for my '51 Champion Regal 4-door sedan (10G-W5) from a west coast collector.
I know, I know, skirts are not for everyone's taste, but period accessories are period accessories and the 50's were a wild adventure in styling. Anyways, the Foxcraft catalog back then listed all '47-'52 Champions as having the same skirt (convertible, 2-door coupe and sedan, 4-doors, etc). And I should note these are overlaid skirts not the flush type that fit inside the opening. See pic for the result....
Needless to say I asked to have them sent back to the seller as the curvature and particular mounting spring-rods at the bottom are just not going to work without a lot of stress on the panel.
Has anyone else found the Foxcraft or other manufactured skirts to fit their Champion 4-door sedans? Seeing skirts on a Studebaker is generally a rare sight anyways,
