Monarch Meteor by R. Perry Zavitz
Many people think that cars sold in Canada since WW2 are identical to American built cars. This is not the case,, with makes and models that were slightly different from American cars, or unique to the Canadian market. An example were the models that Ford sold in Canada - the Monarch and Meteor, which were based on the American Mercury and Ford, with styling and some mechanical differences.
In this book, noted Canadian automotive historian R Perry Zavitz gives an detailed and through explanation of all the various Monarch and Meteor models that were sold in Canada. As well as detailed technical specifications, there are many illustrative pictures as well. For anyone interested in the Canadian car industry, this is an essential book.
"This book is the product of many situations and circumstances. The most important of these, of course, is the fact that the Ford Motor Company of Canada Limited saw fit to manufacture many unique cars. The purpose was to meet the uniqueness of both Canadian tastes and Canadian market conditions."
Beginning with a general introduction to the subject and the book, the author then delves in the Mercury Part I from 1946 to 1948, moving on to the Monarch with detailed sections on the years from 1946 to 1961, then the Meteor Part I (1949 to 1961), the 1960 Frontenac, the Mercury part II (1963 400 and Bobcat 1974), the Meteor part II (1964 to 1976), then on to the Meteor Part III Marquis Meteor 1977-81, and finally a chapter on trucks (Mercury and Meteor).
