Just thought I'd say hello from East coast Canada. Just picked up a 1947 four door monarch with supposed 26000 miles .just getting to know the car.
 
Welcome to the Fordbarn. Sounds like you picked up a nice car with only 26k miles. Expect plenty of good help here just for the asking. Please post some pictures of your car.
 
As the great Merle Haggard said in "Ramblin Fever"..... "there aint no kind of cure for my disease". We've all got it here FFF (Ford Flathead Fever).

Welcome to the "Barn" from New Zealand at the "arse (***) end of the world"

Welcome, good luck. Try and find an old motors manual of the mid 50's. Got allot of info and we're here to help If you have a problem, pictures help so we can see the problem as well.
 
Saw that car and you Sat. night at "Hot August Nights" in Sydney NS. Was going to speak to you but you were busy at the time! As nice as they come and original and a Monarch. Lotsa flatheads in attendance. A good time was had by all!Bill
 
Canada had to separate the the dealers. Ford dealers wanted a larger upscale car (Monarch). Mercury dealers wanted the smaller less expensive model (Meteor). Both wanted pickups so they both had them with different trim.

Following WW2, Ford of Canada introduced for the separated dealerships, a Mercury "114", this is their 'small' car, For the Mercury dealers. This is a Merc on a Ford Chassis, the regular Mercury was a 118 inch wheelbase.
For the Ford Dealers in 1946, they brought out the Monarch. It had a Ford instrument panel and Ford taillights, and a less busy grille. The two door sedans also had a rear vent window. The Merc flathead engine was 239 C.I. and 97 SAE horsepower. It did have the 118 inch wheelbase.
The Meteor was introduced in the 1949 model year for the Mercury dealers, as their small car.
Cheers, Byron.
 
Welcome, I just acquired a 1947 Ford Super Deluxe. The members here at the Barn have been great. Im still in the process of trying to navigate the site, and locate members who may live close or may have a similar model and add them to my lists.

Have you posted any pictures?
 
I got a quick look at your woodie as you drove by on George Street there were something for everyone there regards
 
Yes; a bit of both I think as far as I know from the cowl back it's a deluxe ford going forward it is longer and more chrome different park lights and 15 inch wheels
 
Welcome to the Barn, more info here then in a book. Would like to know the serial numbers.on your car just to see how close it is to mine. Sounds like a great find, enjoy
