1952 Mercury accessories
In the '52 Merc accessory brochure they show a combination map light /cigar lighter (Or maybe a map light that plugged into the lighter socket..)
Anyone ever see one? They also advertise rear window wipers and defrosters.. Again I'll bet a dollar to a donut hole no one has ever seen that either. Quite a ways ahead of their time. but doubt the market was there 60 years ago. |

Re: 1952 Mercury accessories
Here are two photos of pages in the '53 Ford Accessory Catalog;
I've never seen a '52 - '54 Ford or Merc with a rear window wiper however, I have seen rear window wipers installed on some '46 - '48 Ford & Merc Sedans. Our '53 Sunliner has the courtesy light under the dash that operates by the door and the head light switch (to use as a map light).

Re: 1952 Mercury accessories
Trev, it is a O/D no fog lights but the front bumper guards are on the way.
I did find you a 52 back glass, but getting it to you would be a chore,, PM me if you think it is something you would want. Vic, My Merc has the map light as well as the auto light when the door opens,, also auto light under the hood and in the trunk. Really curious about the one listed as part of the cigar lighter |

Merc (being the more expensive car) came with a lot of standard features like an (interior lighting package) that were optional accessories on the Ford.

Re: 1952 Mercury accessories
I used to raid junk yards for extra lights and goodies. My 54 Merc was lite up under the hood and in the trunk. My best accessory find was for my 56 buick: ever seen a factory purse hook? This one was in the original pouch and not installed. It screwed onto the glove box door. Clem

Vic, I am computer illiterate on posting pictures but if you PM me you email, I'll send you a picture.. Clearly a combined lighter and map lite.

Re: 1952 Mercury accessories
Intersting, I have a simular but older spotlight with mirror. Not plated, just painted black. Guessing it is earlier than the early 50's accessory. Picked it up at a garage sale earlier this summer, but have not had time to research it so I can properly list it.

Re: 1952 Mercury accessories
If at any point you need to replace the lighter element in that I have a NOS element that might work. Rod
