The Period Ad Page 2 section of the E83W Website needs a slight correction. The ad at the bottom of the page beginning, "PRESENTING....." the new Prefects, etc. is a CANADIAN advertisement (in fact, I may have sent this to Rick). The key is the mention of "Monarch" dealers. The Monarch was a plainer version of the Mercury car which gave the Ford dealers a niche in the higher end market. It was sold only in Canada. It gave the dealers a more upscale product The "Meteor" was also unique to Canada and gave Mercury dealers a cheaper car (it was a Ford with different trim and badged "Meteor"). English Fords in CANADA far outsold the American market despite the 10-1 population difference!!!
