Restore the Interior of Ford’s Total Performance Era

If your 1962–1965 Fairlane dash pad is cracked, shrunken, or pulling away around the speaker grille and instrument cluster, you’re not alone.

These original pads were known for failing in exactly those areas — and once they go, they’re extremely difficult to restore correctly.

This is a full reproduction dash pad, built as a direct replacement for the original.

Designed to fit 1962–1965 Ford Fairlane and 1962–1963 Mercury Meteor models, this unit restores your interior with factory-correct fit, material, and appearance.



Built to Match — And Outlast — the Original

Ford proved the durability of the Fairlane in one of its most famous commercials — even sinking one to demonstrate its engineering.

But decades of heat and UV exposure have taken their toll on the interior.

Our reproduction dash pads are built to solve that problem long-term:
• High-density urethane foam core for structural stability
• UV-resistant automotive vinyl to prevent shrinking and cracking
• Period-correct grain texture for a factory-style finish

This isn’t just about replacing a part; it’s about restoring the experience of the car.

Why This Is NOT a Dash Cap

There’s a major difference between a true reproduction and a plastic overlay.

Full Replacement Construction
Not a thin shell glued over cracks, this replaces the original padded dash entirely.

Precision Speaker Grille Fitment
Engineered to maintain correct fit and alignment around the speaker area and instrument cluster.

Heat & UV Resistance
Designed to withstand the greenhouse heat inside classic cars without warping or pulling at the edges.

When installed properly, it looks like the car just rolled off the showroom floor.

FAQ

Is the speaker grille or metal trim included?
No. This listing includes the padded dash only. It is molded to fit your original factory components.

Will this fit both Fairlane and Meteor models?
Yes. While minor trim differences exist, this pad is designed to accommodate both applications for a seamless fit.

How does custom color matching work?
Select the Custom Color option and send us a sample of your interior. We use professional automotive dyes to achieve a factory-correct finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Color Matching and Painting

  • Where do I send the physical color sample for my dash? Please send your color sample with your order number to: Just Dashes, 5941 Lemona Ave., Van Nuys, CA 91411.
  • Why does Just Dashes request a physical color sample? We request a physical color sample to ensure the color match is exact for your custom dash order. Without this process, we cannot guarantee a correct color match.
  • What type of color sample is required? We ask for a color sample from an interior part of your car that reflects the true, original color. Often, customers provide a strip of vinyl that has been shielded from sun exposure.
  • How large does the color sample need to be? The sample does not need to be large. A piece the size of a quarter is sufficient.

Does the dash require trimming for the intallation process?

Yes! This is a semi-professional grade product, and if you've never done a project like this, we highly recommend enlisting a local upholstery shop to help with the installation. We provide very general installation instructions, but we strongly suggest seeking professional help. And as always, measure twice, cut once.
