Interesting car...I don't have much experience with the Meteor marque but it looks like a Ford shoebox with a Mercury front end.

The nerve of some people! Selling a car I wasn't considering at a price I wasn't planning to pay close enough for me to pick up.

I could only hope my auction frustrations should look so good. So, are you going to hide this one for a bit?

All in all the rockers and floor pan need replacing and any other rust is easily patched , very little dents and almost all the chrome .

The grille is quite snazzy. I can understand how you were drawn into its charm.

I had a 50 Merc for a number of years and collected a lot of parts for it. One part that was in high demand with the Ford shoebox guys was the Merc grille surround...put a Merc grille in a shoebox and you had something that was really different. I wonder how many of those SoCal guys knew that there was a Canadian model that already had a Merc grille from the factory?
