Waiting For The Train

1966 Meteor Montcolm S33

Due to dealer pressure,, Ford released a lower-priced "Mercury 400" in 1963 that stood in the price bracket formerly occupied by the Meteor.
When the intermediate Mercury Meteor was dropped after 1963, Ford of Canada relaunched Meteor as a standalone make in 1964, and dropped Mercury's Monterey series in Canada.
The 1964 Meteor looked nearly identical to the 1964 Mercury, save for its Ford dashboard and interior, and was available in a base and Custom series. Sedans, hardtops, and a convertible were offered.
For 1965, the full range of model names that had existed in 1961 returned: Rideau, Rideau 500, and Montcalm.
The cars used Ford Galaxie bodies but had Mercury-styled front and rear styling. The Montego was added as a top-range model for 1967, but when that name was selected for use by Mercury in the U.S. beginning in 1968, it was renamed LeMoyne, and continued through 1970.
A sport-themed Montcalm S-33 model was available from 1966-70. These cars were all basically retrimmed Mercurys.

rife with immediacy...recently read that Ford will discontinue most sedans in just a few years, and concentrate instead on SUVs and pickups, models that consumers evidently prefer..
