Abstract
A front fender for an automobile molded of a synthetic resin in a manner to provide an even flow of the resin to all portions of the fender in order to avoid points of weakness within the fender. The flow starts from numerous points along the fender arched wheel opening and eventually flows through a groove extending to the most radically remote portion of the fender to ensure flow thereto. Thickened cross-sections are formed along the arched wheel opening and the vertical rear edge of the fender for strength and impact resistance.
