Actually, ALL front "quarter panels" are properly called front fenders,
while the "rear quarter panels" haven't been called "fenders" since the
fenders were blended into the quarter panels some time around or after
World War II. Hence the lack of "rear fenders" on modern cars. (BTW the
front fenders were never "blended" into anything, hence no change in
description.)
