    Looking to find out what this is so as I can find another. Any idea? It's a maple leaf in the center. Meteor? Monarch?

    i don't know the center emblem, but the rest of the cap looks like 1955 merc....so maybe 55 meteor?

    Going by the style of the 'Maple Leaf' in the
    centre I'd guess a '60 Frontenac maybe.
    Is the cap for a 13 or 14 inch rim? A 13 inch
    would almost certainly indicate that it's for a
    '60 Frontenac. The Frontenac by the way was a
    one year-only Canadian-built version of the
    Ford Falcon that was sold at Canadian Mercury
    stores. If it's for a 14 or 15 inch rim it could be
    for any number of early-50's through mid-60's
    Canadian-only Ford or Mercury models - ie -
    a Meteor, Monarch, Richelieu or Rideau, etc.

    It fit's a 15 inch rim. The maple leaf does look similar to the Frontenac, but obviously no deal. Like stated above, the stamping itself is identical to a 55 Merc, but the center logo is unique. I'll keep on searching....
