Meteor Rideau
Motor vehicle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Meteor Rideau is a full-sized automobile produced by Ford Motor Company of Canada under its Meteor brand.[1] It was produced from 1954 until 1961[2] and from 1965 until 1976. It was named for the Rideau River, which drains into the Ottawa River in the Canadian capital, Ottawa. From 1957, the line included both the Rideau series and the higher-trim Rideau 500. The Rideau began as the top trim level of the Meteor line, but beginning with the 1956 models, it was the lowest trim series.
