My 1988 Mercury Grand Marquis

Yay. No cracked glass in a box.

I have a question...the door panel pockets exclusive to 88-89 cars....do you like it? I was pulling a set once but then was deterred by them blocking the speakers. What is your take on that?

Oh and what ya got going on in the center console? That one looks different than all other ones I have seen used before.

the pockets arent so bad if they are pretty much empty. otherwise they do block the sound quite a bit. the dash speakers more than make up for it though. i think the acoustics in these cars is excellent. the sound stage is right at ear level.

that center console was in my parents '85 impala when i was younger. its been in the merc the past ten years at least. i did a little cutting on it to make it fit nicely.

just payed for my NOS InstaClear from ProSource Glass. $1477 shipped.

it was the last one they could get a hold of, very possibly the last easily found InstaClear in the entire country.

Very Nice!

Takes alot more effort, time, and money to keep something 100% original during a restoration, than it does to modify things. Your commitment to originality is commendable. I want to be the same way with my Lincoln this time.

i hope they packed the shipping crate well

its supposed to be insured. ill just cross that bridge if i come to it, though thatd be a tragedy.

That is a cool shot.


I can almost hear the theme from "In the Heat of the Night" playing in the background.
