landrover1 ◊ 2006-07-20 02:58	could be?
antp ◊ 2006-07-20 09:26	Firebird86 wrote 1975 Meteor Montcalm link Why is it written "Mercury" on the rear then?
pilou ◊ 2006-07-20 12:15	This is a Canadian Meteor Montcalm 2-door hardtop of 1975.The US Mercury Monterey was taken off the American market in 1974 but continued in Canada in 1975 in the Meteor line.There it received a new grille with a large horizontal upper chromed part and six divided cells ressembling that of the Chrysler New Yorker 1975 ,visible on the picture here. Grilles of US Mercury Montereys of 1973/4 were different.Rear styling was also revised and adopted a Mercury Marquis type rear styling with the panel below the trunk deck lid indeed bearing the name Mercury. A Meteor script was retained on the lower right deck lid corner but is not visible here.So Meteor Montcalm 2 door hardtop 1975 , to file under the Meteor name ( there is already a '54 there)
antp ◊ 2006-07-20 12:52	But here the "Mercury" name is visible on the rear... http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/5394/mercury012701tj0.jpg Movie was made in Alaska and Canada, by the way.
pilou ◊ 2006-07-20 13:04	As I indicated the name " Mercury" indeed apeared on the panel below the trunk deck lid of the Meteor Montcalm of 1975 and this is normal( for ref see :Monarch Meteor by R.Perry Zavitz Quad Printing Bothwell Inc Bothwell Ont Canada ISBN 0-9697958-0-7 )This was probably aimed at using the then existing Mercury Marquis parts .But the car is as spotted by Firebird without doubt a Canadian Meteor Montcalm 1975.
antp ◊ 2006-07-20 13:05	Sorry I have read your comment too fast, I did not see that you mentionned that Mercury panel
philr ◊ 2007-04-05 07:41	Unlike some Meteors that were sold here before, the 1975 model was a Mercury. I think it should be listed as a Mercury Meteor. Can someone tell me the difference between the 1975 Mercury Meteor Rideau and the 1975 Mercury Meteor Montcalm? I can't tell it. I know it's a trim level and I think the Montcalm was a bit more luxurious than the Rideau but I can't differenciate them. 1975-76 Meteors were quite common when I was a child and I remember being able to differenciate the Meteor from the Marquis/Grand Marquis by looking at the headlamps. Now, they are a rare sight!
rjluna2 ◊ 2009-02-19 17:58	Should we list this made for Canada?
no-a ◊ 2023-11-14 22:25	1975 Mercury Meteor Rideau 500 Link to "oldcarbrochures.org" Rideau 500 badge is now visible on the front fender, Meteor is placed on the trunk and Mercury is between tail lights. This car was used in "Category 7: The End of the World" (/movie_468988-Category-7--The-End-of-the-World.html), also shot in Manitoba, Canada
