Ford did not offer a floor shifter on your car. That goes for both standard & automatic transmissions. Which do you have? I had the same problem, as my car had the shifter (automatic) moved to the floor, & had no bezel on it when I got it. So, I mounted a small tachometer on the column, in front of the opening. Looks fine.
