Dec 65 Metuchen Important Safety Precaution Decal
« on: May 16, 2014, 08:24:56 PM »
Hi everyone,

This decal supposedly goes on the drivers sun visor?

Any idea on the actual location of it?

I am yet to see a decal like that used on a 65/66 mustang.  are you sure it is used on your car and not a latter model.  Are there any original examples you can supply that would support the use/application of that???

if not don't use it on your car.

That warning label was not on the car when it was delivered new to the first retail customer. The decal was sent to registered owners of Mustang and other Ford products as a result of an agreement between Ford and the US government. Some Ford transmissions were said to jump out of the Park position.  Actually I think the agreement and the decal shipment to owners was not until the late 1970's or early 1980's.
