Sometimes you have to have very easy puzzles! Please identify this car - brand and model for a point!

Looks like a 1965 (Canadian Mercury) Meteor Montcalm.

It's a Meteor, but I have different model name. Obviously locked for you

The three Meteor model lines for 1965 were Rideau, Rideau 500, and Montcalm . . . I thought that the Montcalm was the lowest-priced version (which the puzzle car looks to be), but I must have it backwards. What the actual difference would be between a Rideau and a Rideau 500, I have no clue - but if it isn't the Montcalm, it has to be one or the other of those.

And it's a point for you as this car is claimed to be a Rideau 500

We actually saw some of these around Upstate New York, visiting from our neighbors to the north. They confuse some folks, as they tend to look like customized Fords & Mercurys.  Same with the Chevrolet Acadians and Pontiac Laurentians. All interesting cars.
