1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Driver-Side Rear Fender / Quarter needed

Good afternoon,

I'm about to purchase a very low miles, quite intact 1976 Fleetwood Brougham. The Kicker: the rear fender (Driver's side) was hit by a Town Plow Truck, which pushed a nice vertical crease into the car, just behind the rear door. I've included a picture.

I'm having trouble finding anything for replacement sheetmetal, it's so pushed in that there's no real hope of pulling this out. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement panel, either new or used?

Many thanks,

Any Panel beater worth his salt will be able to get that dent out.

Easier than getting and fitting a replacement.   Plus, less damage to the surrounding area as well.

Bruce, V63, thank you for your quick replies! I'm going to take a proper look in one hour; with luck Bruce will be correct. If not, V63, could you kindly give me a way to contact you to order the quarter?

Just purchased the car, rust-free with the exception of rust starting on the C pillars, an apparent original 59,000 miles, $1100.

Bruce, I'm going to see about getting those dents pulled out; in person they don't look too bad.
