in the U.S. beginning in 1968, it was renamed LeMoyne. A sport-themed Montcalm S-33 model was available from 1966-68. These cars were all basically Ford Galaxies with Mercury styling, they even used Ford's full size wheel covers. 1969-1976 Although Meteor was still considered as a separate marque through 1976, after 1968, the cars also carried Mercury badging and were advertised as the "Mercury Meteor". LeMoyne and Montcalm S-33 models continued through 1970. 1977-1981 After 1976, the Rideau 500 and Montcalm names, as well as the unique trim items, were dropped. The Meteor name was then used on a lower-priced variant of the Mercury Marquis, called the Mercury Marquis Meteor, built until 1981. References Further reading Monarch Meteor, by R.
