Canadian 1956 Meteor Rideau Sunliner


In Canada the Meteor was just a slightly different trimmed Ford and the Monarch was a slightly different trimmed Mercury, both the normal Ford and Mercury and Lincoln models were sold in Canada at the same time. Also personally I don't see many Meteors or Monarchs in Canada, you do see them, but not very often, as their numbers were small originally, let alone our harsh winters have destroyed many of them.

Australia has had some very unique and cool cars, especially in the 1970's and the present day Falcon, but in reality we have had more cool cars in a higher volume in Canada and the U.S. than Australia has had *no hard feelings Aussie friends*, we have had Mustang, Cougar, LTD, Torino, Cyclone, Falcon, Comet, Marauder, Fairlane, Galaxie, Monterey, Continental, Mark Series Coupes, F-Series, M-Series, Ford and Mercury Econoline vans, Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Town Car, Cobra, and the list is even longer than that. So if anything the U.S. and even Canada has had more cool cars than the rest of the world has ever had, that is why they often import cars from here.

Ford really needs to sell the Aussie Falcon globally! and we can sell our Mustang globally as Ford has already announced that, maybe a even trade? we can send some Mustangs for some Falcons?
