56 Mercury Montclair Carpet

Recommended Posts

Hello!  We have a 1956 Montclair that we are restoring.  We have pulled it apart (the car is ALL original-including some interesting souvenirs that have been hidden for over 60 years) and we are seeing things that I haven't seen before.  The carpet was NAILED down, and nails were used throughout the car.  Anyway, the carpet is wasted and needs replacing.  Here's the thing:  the carpet has a foot pad (as usual) on the driver's side.  But it has a really cool Mercury logo on it.  All of the s that I have seen have only the generic square pads-with no logo.  Does anybody know if the original-style is available anywhere?

 

Thanks!

John

 

PS-Attached for your amusement is a photo of a "steamy" paperback novel from 1958.  The author, Orrie Hitt, was apparently a well-known writer of many of these-type books.  I wonder who hid it under the seat all of those years ago; the husband or the wife?
