  Does anyone have factory instructions for a rear speaker and a rear defroster for 52 to 54 Ford? I was lucky enough to find used accessories but they didn't come with instructions. There is a round knob that also came with the rear speaker. I assume I goes under the instrument panel close to the radio, but exactly where? The rear defroster appears to be NOS. I suspect it wires into the defroster control on the instrument panel, but that's a guess. The club's advisor doesn't have instructions. Thanks. Jim Farrell

  My 53 Mercury had the fade control (rear speaker) right on the volume control. There was also a jack plug on the side of the radio for the speaker wire.

  Tom: Thanks for the response. The knob that came with the rear speaker is round and about 1/2 inch across. It can be turned to three different positions. For each position there is a separate wire that goes somewhere. Part of the problem is that I don't know if the switch is original, but it looks like it ought to be. Jim Farrell

  Jim, you mmight contact Jerry Lew in California. He's in the roster and has a good knowledge of the 52-53 cars. Another contact would be Ray Beebe in New York.He also has a good knowledge of these cars.
