Decided middle of last week I wanted to go junking one day over the weekend, before looking at what was in the yard on the website for the local junkhole... Told the wife I was going, then looked to see what I might find. To my surprise, freshly into the yard (2 days prior) was a 1972 Mercury Monterey (listed as a 1975 Ford Mercury) which I had all intentions of going to pilfer... All I ended up getting from it was the headrests and brackets. Had to pay full-price, so out the door, with my entrance fee, was $48.50, but I like them and got the brackets and bolts. Had to cut the foam and fabric at the top to get them though, but most of the material was trashed anyway so it wasn't a big deal, and the plastic insert that goes in the bracket is Ginger-colored so that makes it even better. I'll have to have them recovered, but I really like the shape. I sold the last set I got to @trailerjack because they were a perfect fit for his ride and needed no work other than brackets. Nobody ask, I ain't selling these... But if you have a request for some headrests, I'll keep my eye out. Honestly I probably will anyway and if I find some I'll post them for sale here, so stay tuned. Here's a couple of pics of this set I just got...

Oddly enough, last night, I was watching "The French Connection" with Gene Hackman, and the Ford LTD in the movie had the same headrests but were a different color. Crazy how you notice things like that when you wouldn't otherwise.

Nice find. I have a similar seat sitting in my shed. It's really nice old seat and I hate to cut into it just to rob the headrests and then stuck with trying to get rid of a big old seat to boot.

My plan at the time was to transplant it in to and old rat rod which never materialized.
