I am kind of excited about this project. When I switched jobs at work, I lost the use of a company lease car, and pressed this 1962 Mercury Meteor ("Merc-O-Saurus") into service. My son and daughter drive to high school in it every day. But we had to do some things to get it ready for the type of weather that Detroit experiences this time of year.
Specifically, we wanted to install a rear window defroster (de-fogger). They didn't have those in 1962, in case you are too young to remember. I bought a Clear View Defroster Kit from a website: www.frostfighter.com ... and I am pleased with the results (see video).
It is a bit tricky to install ... you have to prep the glass just right, and make sure that you understand every part of the instructions before actually starting. (If anyone is considering doing this, send me a message, and I can give you some hints.)
And here, just for kicks, are a few photos of this "work-in-progress" car:
