Having a hard time finding a definitive answer but I know you guys will know.  I need a front fender for my 69 deville, what other body style/year was interchangeable with my car?  This will help me expand my search.  Thanks in advance

For 1969 you can use a Calais or Fleetwood, as the fenders were sold without holes drilled if you seek NOS.  If used the Fleetwood will have holes drilled for the word "Fleetwood" and they will have to be filled.

The 1970 fender is similar and can be used on a 1969, but that is the only other year.  An NOS fender will fit either year and the holes will not be drilled.  A used one will require some trim around headlight holes to be filled.  You are better off with a used DeVille/Calais fender from 1969.  Used Fleetwood front fenders and used 1970 front fenders will require some modifications, however they will align with hood and door well.

1 Additional note :  a 1970 passenger fender will not have the antenna hole in it as 1970s used a windshield embedded antenna wire.  1969 still had the fender mounted antenna that year and would require a hole.
