Attention 53-56 restorers

here's what I would assume to be a rather rare accessory especially being NOS, a set of FMCo fender skirts! Ebay # 4533764964

Ford did not make or sell these. Nowhere in any of my literature does it show these items, including my accessory brochure. These are Foxcraft. I have a set on my truck EXACTLY as pictured. These were an aftermarket item sold in the 50's From places like GASSEY'S or JCwhitneys. But they are 100% aftermarket.

Kev. Could you hook me up with a Pic of those skirts on your 56?

I got the winning bid but am years away from being able to use them. Inspire me please.

Thx. David

Heres a pic of my truck wearing a pair. I dont know if this will help, as I have a 55, but I had a pair and they fit well. I ended up selling mine on ebay. They were good quality, and I enjoyed them while I had them on my truck.
