The 1961-63 Imperial front fenders were
attached to the inner shield with clip and nut assemblies along the top
edge of the shield.
The 1961-63 front fenders are unique in
that there are three major pieces on each side - top (above the side trim - 2099
646-7), side (below the side trim - 1904 064-5) and front (behind the headlights
- 1904 066-7). These three pieces were welded together as there are
no bolts or screws listed. The 1961-62 parts catalogues list the
individual pieces, top (2099 646-7), side (1904 064-5) and front (1904
066-7). The 1961-63 parts
catalogues also list the complete units - 1904 062-3 in 1961, 2425 264-5 in
1962 and 2425 268-9 in 1963.
In 1964-66 only the complete front
fenders were available. No more individual pieces .
The inner shields were the same on the 1960
and 1961 models - 2122 184 on the right and 1948 441 on the
left. Those same part numbers are listed for the 1961 Chrysler New
Yorker. 1962-63 models used 1948 442-3, which were used on the 1960
Chrysler Saratoga/NewYoker/300-F and the 1961 Chrysler 300-G.
And, yes, the cowl was painted the
body colour as were the inner fender shields. I can only think of a
few instances when Chrysler painted sections of the cowl black, and they were
muscle era vehicles.
