Mercury Monarch in Vancouver

Back in July, Autoliterate came across a wonderful and mostly-original Canadian Mercury M-3 pickup in Wolfville, N.S.  Mercury trucks were essentially rebadged Fords that were sold in Canada.
           The Mercury Monarch was another Canada-only Ford model, and we just found one, parked out by English Bay, in Vancouver's West End. Best guess is that it's a 1951 model. Not an unrestored original, certainly. Nor is it a classic Mercury lead-sled. (See Autoliterate's post on Mercury Charlie)  But it did look like a pretty cool ride, sun visor, fender skirts, suicide doors and all.



Maple leaves, a British lion, a crown. Canada, eh?

    Monarch was a seperate make. This isn't a Mercury Monarch, just a Monarch.
