Does anybody know where I can get a dashboard for a 1989 LTC. I doubt I can luck out at a junkyard

Allow me to clarify the pad, I am looking for a dashpad.
Looking in a junkyard is hopeless,

Jc Whitney May still sell the coverlay. Installed properly you can hardly tell it's an overlay.2020 Volvo XC90 T6 Momentum (Ice White / Blonde)

I just helped someone else here regarding info on a dash cap. Coverlay is one company. Look at their site for details. JC Whitney sells them cheaper that the coverlay site. JC Whitney has some discounts available, Coupon code : SVNGSAFF8 OR PC4UAFF8 Both give you 10 % off plus free shipping.

Is the dashpad out of a Crown or a Marq from the same 80s era the same as used in a Town Car?-Nick M.

Vic and marquis dash pads will not work on a town car. I know from trying to fit a town car pad to my vic when I first got it. The side (ears?) are too short as dimensions are just all wrong. I guess worst case you could set it on there, but it won't bolt down or fit right at all.
Shame I don't still have the town car pad I tried using because it wasn't cracked at all.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - Currently restoring after she caught fire!

AFAIK, Those are plastic covers that go over the existing cracked dash pad. It's not a full replacement pad.Originally posted by porschpow View Post
