Yes, I said Mercury. In Canada, many towns had a Ford dealership or a Lincoln-Mercury dealership but not both. Ford addressed this by letting Ford dealers sell the upscale Mercury as the Monarch.
Mercury dealers sold Ford trucks and vans as Mercurys and Ford cars under the brand name Meteor. Ford wound down the separate branding after the US and Canada signed a free trade agreement in 1968.
This is the first Ford cab-over van.
It's based on the Falcon chassis, which seems like a daft idea to me considering what a wimpy vehicle the Falcon was. Ford's inline 6-cylinders were the only engines available; you can see the motor mounted over the front axle between the seats.
