What is "fenders"

Usage examples of "fenders".

Japanese entered the city, Alexandra Ivanovna was surprised and annoyed when a staff car, little flags fluttering from its fenders, arrived in her driveway and a junior officer announced in a metallic French that General Kishikawa Takashi, governor of Shanghai, was to be billeted upon her.

Silvery marlin fins of froth and spray washed up and along and over the fenders, and the hood latch popped itself ajar.
