I've noticed both plaid and speckled trunk mats available from the various Mustang dealers. Does anyone know which is the correct one for a 70 Mach 1? I understand the speckled was used in 70. Thanks.

The difference is in where the car was assemblied.


Generally plaid for San Jose - speckled for NJ and Dearborn. It was a supplier thing where companies (Ford HATED single sources) bid and were awarded contracts to supply the overthe counter and assembly plants (a 6-10 in the sixties)

Other differences that demonstrate this (for example) would be the factory shocks installed in the factories - One would be stamped MADE IN CANADA the other MADE IN USA One would have fine threads the other would have course - Apparently Ford did not apparently specify the threads in the contract


Hope this helps

What year did they narrow down assembly plants to Dearborn-only? 71?

in 71 they dropped San Jose from the list Then part way through 71 BJ dropped out. So 72 would be the first year were all Mustangs were built at only one plant

Jeff,

Sorry for being so tardy in responding to you. Appreciate the info. I had a plaid mat but am changing to speckled since my car was produced in Metuchen.
