Ted, i have been working on two 40 Mercurys, and both do not have a wood grained dash, and these are original, unrestored cars.....Ed

Ted, No problem, glad to help, the Mercury had a pretty art-deco looking dash for its time. As far as i know the 39 was the last of the wood grained dash boards. Even the dash in 40 fords had a two tone paint job, if you decide you want pictures, let me know.....Ed
