This beautiful brochure is on ebay, but with a price tag of US$ 159,97 there is no way to make it mine.
pics are a low resolution, but at least I wanted to save them for future reference. Awesome styling, especially pretty interiors!
it is interesting to note that the 2dr wagon base model shares the US side trim.
That coral sand/white Rideau500 4dr ht is sharp ! or maybe I'd go fo the two tone blue 4dr wagon ?... hmmmm...?

That's what I paid for my first 57...53 years ago!
I have a very large 1949 to 1963 Ford literature collection I've seen that Meteor brochure for sale at the larger swap meets (Such as the Ford Nationals) for $35.00.
that sounds fair and is a price that I would be willing to pay for one!
The brochure posted above is a typical case of where somebody tries to put it on ebay at a fantasy price buy-it-now, because none other is available at the time and hoping that somebody wants it really badly.
Anyway, the Canadian brochure still has about the same great artistic and colorful layout as the US brochures IMHO. I think 1957 brochures must be one of the most beautiful Ford artwork ever. It would be interesting to know if it was the same artist/team who did the US and the Canadian Meteor advertising art.
I'v never seen one but did they make a retractable, or were all retractables made in US

I do not think so.. never seen one..... the production numbers were pretty low..a Meteor Ranchero was under 100.
