Default 1962 Tempest Drivers Side Front Fender Needed
I need to find a drivers side front fender for my 62 Tempest. My Hollander interchange manual shows a different part number for the 61 VS the 62. I know the hood and grill area is different on a 61 but what is different on the 62?

Anyone have a straight 62 fender for sale? Please let me know.
Thanks!
Randy

Fenders are the same. just may have different mount holes for trim.

Default Small differences in fenders.
Keith is correct, they are same, except, the '61 fenders had the "Tempest" fender emblem holes in the front versus emblem in rear quarter on '62's. Also, For some odd reason, the headlight bracket is different on a '61 versus a '62 fender. I have a '61 fender on my '62, and the '61 fender does not have a tab that stabilizes the headlight assembly. '62 also has different radio antenna mounting. Otherwise, the body lines are same as are all mounting points.

Nice break down and much appreciated. Now I just need to find a decent one. 62 preferred but 61 will work.
Thanks!

Thanks everyone. I now have a fender thanks to Keith and this site. Cool thing is was shipped from Arizona to Kansas in about three days via Greyhound Bus for only $60. It was in a big well padded box that I doubt that UPS would even consider at any price. I am happy the way it all turned out.
