From 1949-1961, Meteor was an auto marque, offered by Ford of Canada, to be sold by Lincoln/Mercury dealerships. These Meteor vehicles were assembled from both Ford and Lincoln parts and shared several body designs throughout the years.

This very original 1959 Meteor 9-passenger Country Sedan Wagon is based on its Ford twin, and has a very interesting history. As documented, this car was donated to the Harbor Island Yacht Club, in Canada, by Mr. Benson Ford (grandson of Henry Ford) in 1959. The resort used the wagon to shuttle the Ford family to and from the local airport.

This vintage vehicle had an exterior restoration in approx. 1989 and shows very well. With that, the wagon shows some age here and there. While the stainless trim is solid, the bumpers could use some new chrome. The interior is highly original, yet the drivers seat basket weave is unraveling a little. Just some little things that come along with being 65-years old.

On the flip-side, the odometer shows 30,833 and is believed to be correct due to the car's original purpose and that it has rested for many years. The undercarriage is solid, the engine runs well, and the car drives great.

This 1959 Meteor Country Sedan Wagon is a driver quality car, not a show car. As it stands, it's a great investment. If somebody wants to make it an award winner, this vehicle will make a wonderful foundation for a restoration project.
