Cars with those ballooning, sweeping fenders outside the body had running boards, back in the old days. They were nice to have - they provided a seat for just passing the time, and more importantly, were something to step on when getting in and out of those tall vehicles. These were phased out for passenger cars throughout the late 1940's, but they soldiered on with pickup trucks for a few more years.
You could even find vestiges of them as late as the 1990's, but for all practical purposes, the running board was extinct by the 1960's. Unfortunately, vehicles like the Ford F250 haven't gotten any shorter.
Fortunately, you don't need outside fenders to have running boards, and in fact - if you're short, injured, disabled or getting gray - running boards are a real handy thing to have.
