Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Paint has some small fish eyes and a chip on the driver's side front quarter panel. The bumpers only have light scratches and the stainless around the windshield was polished. The window trim is scratched, and some is pitted and aged. Engine compartment is clean with no leaks. The engine paint is in fair shape with some age since restoration but the firewall needs detailing. Seats are fair with some stains from use and light wear in driver's footwell. Underbody is clean and painted but not fully restored. A pretty driver and conversation starter as one of the Canadian market only Monarch-branded cars built from 1946-57 and 1959-61.
Market commentary
A certain relationship sensitivity from our Canadian neighbors is understandable when in the mid-50's they were sold Pontiac badged Chevys and Mercury badged Fords. This Monarch is an interesting social and organizational sidelight, but not a very interesting car and it brought an entirely appropriate price for its condition, body style and driveline.
