The Meteor Rideau was produced at Ford’s Oakville assembly plant from 1954 to 1976 and was named for the Rideau River in eastern Ontario. The Rideau began as the top-trim level of the Meteor line and was marketed to the Canadian public. The example offered here is one of only 206 produced making it one of the rarest of all 50s Fords.
