I am restoring a 49 Mercury convertible & when I contacted Le Baron Bonny they informed me they do not make a 49 Merc interior or top. I have no original interior or top. Can anyone help with interior pictures or a supplier?

I do not have any good photos of the 1949 Mercury convertible interior or top, but here are a couple of links that may help you. Another source for information is the V-8 Club's adviser.

I just recently finished a frame off restoration of a 49 Merc convertible. You can follow some of the restoration on this website: http://autorestoration101.com/ I had a really hard time finding the correct interior and top. I contacted every source I could find. I finally just took what little material I had left from the original to my upholsterer. He came pretty close to matching it. Here is another article on my car: http://www.kansas.com/2010/10/30/1564387/rag-top-stays-in-family.html Would love to see some pics of yours. My email address is: clinton.moyer@us.army.mil Good luck and let me know if you have any questions about my restoration.
