Not exactly. As I understood it, the Meteor band in Canada was equivalent to Ford and the Monarch was equivalent to Mercury. The pictured car is a Meteor Montcalm not a Mercury. The Mercury Meteor was a U.S. car. They were not exactly smaller nor more economical than their comparable Fords and Mercurys with comparable optioned drive lines. The American/Canadian branding and styling differences (Pontiac. Parisienne, etc.) had to do with corporate legalities the details of which I don't recall.

 

Re image 40336:

Was this the first belly tanker?

 

Optical illusion? or did you only get one headlight as standard equipment? It looks similiar to an Austin or ????? (I'm kinda lost when it comes to European cars)

 

Appears to be on the bottle, may have been the cause of the wreck ???
