1978-79 Lincoln Mark V Diamond Jubilee/collector's Series Map Pocket Panels on 2040-parts.com

Location:

Menasha, Wisconsin, United States

Menasha, Wisconsin, United States
Condition:Used

This listing is for a pair of restored map pocket panels located on back of the front seats for a 1978 Diamond Jubilee Edition or 1979 Collector's Series Mark V with bucket seats.  The last picture show a seat with the typical scratches and chips in the original finish.  The second to last picture shows an original unrestored panel next to the decal used for the restoration.  These parts are shown for reference only and are not included - the two restored panels only.   

The material is a 3M vinyl that is used mainly for exterior automotive wraps.   It is designed to be UV-fade resistant, durable, and flexible; able to follow most any shape.  It has the correct matte finish, great detail, and looks terrific...just like the original.  I have a separate listing for just the decals, if you prefer to do the work yourself.    The panels are sanded to remove most of the original material, and some filler is used to smooth out imperfections before carefully applying the decal and wrapping the edges for a great looking and durable result.  Close-ups show some small imperfections remaining in the surface flatness, overall appearance is excellent.

The backing on the panels is originally stapled to the seat backs, and then the metal panel that holds the woodgrain pattern is glued to the backing.   When removing your panels, you'll be pulling out those staples with the metal plate and backing piece still attached to each other.   Use just about any sort of adhesive to easily reattached the restored panels.  3M multipurpose adhesive "Number 77" in a spray can works great.

Feel free to contact me any time with questions.  I will also consider doing the restoration work for you if you prefer.

More kits are available specifically for the Lincoln Mark V;  driver's instrument cluster cover, passenger side dash panel over the glove box, left and right seat/window switch housings, ashtray lids.  There are also similar kits available for the Continental / Town Coupe / Town Car vehicles.  Please check out my other similar listings;  I always combine parts for best shipping cost.  

Thanks!

McLaren 650s Configurator goes live

Sun, 09 Mar 2014

The McLaren 650S Configurator The new McLaren 650S arrived at the Geneva Motor Show last week – and as the 650S Spider too – and looks, and performs, far better than the 12C. That seems to point to the McLaren 12C being allowed to whither on the vine as McLaren’s customers opt for the new 650S instead of the 12C – even with a price difference heading towards £20k – although officially you can still buy a 12C (although we hear 12C production has been halted). We hear McLaren have already built a number of 650S models and now they’ve even got the 650S Configurator up on their website so customers – and dreamers – can spec up their new 650S.

Now it’s the Hyundai Veloster in Harrods’ window

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

Harrods is hosting a ‘Korea Loves London – Innovation and Technology 2012’ exhibition and the centrepiece of the window display is a Hyundai Veloster. This isn’t the first time Hyundai has had a spot in a Harrods window. Two years ago, when the Hyundai ix35 was fresh and new, Hyundai took over a window at Harrods to show off its compact SUV to the visiting shoppers, perhaps in the hope one or two would grab one for the Nanny.

Infiniti Essence unveiled at the Geneva motor show 2009

Tue, 03 Mar 2009

By Ben Pulman First Official Pictures 03 March 2009 11:38 This is the Infiniti Essence, a petrol-electric rear-wheel-drive coupe with 592bhp. It’s a concept, built to celebrate Infiniti’s 20th anniversary, but also to preview the company’s future design themes and environmentally friendly technologies, both of which will be essential if the badge is to conquer the UK market later this year. It’s not, but the petrol-electric drivetrain is a glimpse of Infiniti’s future power units.
