They sadly do not show a photo of it in the sales brochure but do describe it as an available accessory. The number I have seen is: FDD-11508-A in a Lincoln box, but the instructions show installation on either Lincoln or a Mercury with separate wiring diagrams/vacuum connections.

Great idea! I just need to make sure it'd stand up automotive temperatures, etc. Surely though there must be something similar for outdoor carpeting or turf?

No, this has nothing to do with any keyboard control. It's some type of round pod shaped switch that mounts on the firewall and is wired into the car. It is listed an as accessory for '55 Mercury and Lincoln cars.

Does anyone know anything about an accessory that was offered on Lincoln/Mercury called "Auto neutral start" or "Automatic starter switch" Does anyone have this on their car, or know what it is or how it works?

Even in the advertising photos you can see how crooked the seam is! Thankfully the rest of the carpeting seems to fit well, but that transmission hump with the errant seam is pretty much inexcusable. Years ago, I remember getting carpet from JC Whitney and even though it wasn't the best in...

Someone had welded the brackets together at the top and bottom so that they could be mounted quickly. I simply ground the welds down so that I could separate each bracket and restore adjustment for the bumper. As soon as I broke thru the weld on the driver's side, the bumper relaxed into it's...

Oh, they sat out for a few hours on a near 100 degree day. No amount of sun is going to cure bad stitching. The carpet I removed from the car was also ACC and had the same pucker/poor stitching.

The kicked up bumper was nothing a grinder couldn't fix! What's shocking to me is that it was offered for sale at 2 different dealers and neither of them bothered to fix the bumper! Even more disturbing is that the buyers for the car either never noticed or cared that it was so horribly...

I purchased this carpet from ACC, and while the color is a LOT better than the brown, the center seam on the transmission hump is poorly done. I think I'm going to purchase an extra yard and follow the advice given and try to find a trim shop who can do a more competent job of sewing. Aside...

Looks like my car from one of the various sites it was listed at prior to the last owner purchasing it. As with any of these old cars there was a good bit wrong with it: Poorly rebuilt carburetor Front bumper kicked up on the driver's side (some genius decided it would be great to weld all...

Sadly, I have yet to find one who's work I like. Had a trim guy years ago but he retired after he had a heart attack. I had another guy who stitched up a seat cover for a late model Camaro, and who did beautiful work, but he's since moved out of state.

I'll take a photo of the issue with the carpet tomorrow.

Yes, one of those but in Sunglaze/Alaska white.

I have a 1955 Mercury Monterey 2dr hardtop and was wondering if there's any alternative to Auto Custom Carpets? It seems like all of their cut/sewn carpeting has this odd looking, crooked seam where the carpet is sewn together on top of the transmission hump. The rest of the carpeting fits...
