This is such a beautiful picture of this mercury. I would love to have an old car just like this one. I would take it to car shows and only drive it around town, but I think it would be so much fun. I have a mercury now, but it is a new one not an old classic like this one.http://www.trustlink.org/Reviews/Mercury-Auto-Transport-206033949

My Grandfather took his '53 all the way to Windsor to pick up his '56 Richelieu. Then they drove it all the way back to Arrowhead, BC, along Rt. 66. The servicing dealership was Valley Ford, Penticton, BC.
The car resides in Spokane, Wa. with my cuz, and still operates. Not sure if the radio does, tho!

I'd love to have a '56 Monarch Richelieu Phaeton and I'm in the USA. My understanding is that there is a Canadian moratorium on Canadian cars leaving the country that are 50 years old or older. Anyone know anything about this and if it is enforced? Back to the '56 Monarch Phaeton: Drive it from CDN into the USA for me to take possession after paying for it up there? Anyone know if that is a solution and if it has been done successfully? Let's hear from you to ROVOX25@AOL.COM Thanks!, Phil

More info for Doug McRae
After searching high and low, I located a spare monarch center piece for the steering wheel.What you see is a gold lion with an extended M line running through the center of the lion. The M itself is seen below the lion/monarch
The background is solid black.
The one on my monarch came with the car when I bought it in 1962, so I am pretty sure it is original
Regards
Erik

Message to Doug McRae.
I have a 56 monarch Lucerne which has a black Monarch centre in the steeringwheel.
Not sure what your cars would have had originally. Most likely a monarch emblem.
Regards
Erik

We have a 1956 Monarch Richelieu Phaeton that we would like to sell & have a couple of questions. It is a 4 Door Hardtop, very rusty, but complete - except for missing radio. All the Chrome is intact & v. good condition. The 312 4 barrel turns over. It is located in NW Ontario. What would it be worth? Anyone interested? I have pictures.
Doug McRae 10-May-2010 15:14
I have 2 1956 Monarch Phaetons they both have the Mercury emblem in the center of the steering wheel. In the case of one of these cars I have reason to believe that it was that way from the factory. Can anyone tell me if this is so or why this might have happened.
Phil van Leeuwen 20-Apr-2010 00:28
Alberta Bud; There were 10,156 '56 Monarchs built. Need more detail? I have it - model for model. Meteor Phil

I own a 1956 Monarch 4 door hard top have any suggestions for parts. Mainly fenders
Guest 23-Apr-2009 22:41
Please look a little closer at the hood lettering on the '56 rag top. MONARCH not Mercury. They are the same in many ways,yet unique. Alberta Bud
Alberta Bud 23-Apr-2009 22:35
The '56 Monarch,built and sold only in Canada is indeed a rare car.We see very few even here in Canada.A good friend has a 2 door post '56 Monarch and we are trying to find how many were built.I am on this site for that reason.If anyone can tell me please send me a private message.Thank you. Alberta Bud, member.

This is a Canadian Mercury built by Ford. The car was at a all Mercury car show and if you look at the front, it clearly says Mercury.

My first car was a 1956 Mercury Monarch Richelieu Phaeton 4 door hard top - a beautiful car
custom canada 28-Jun-2008 20:15
just thought it may intrest some.The 1952 Merc,and the 1953 meteor had what was called the airplane dash.Round speedo with a shelf holding upright heater,vent control arms.these were a cool looking dash.Stock units were all painted.I stripped the paint,and found the whole thing to be aluminum! I polished it untill it resembles chrome. Easily done and very sharp against the rest of the dash which is candy apple red.
Guest 24-Jul-2007 01:53
Can you show more pictures of the car? I own a 1955 Richelieu and i want to see the differences.

Thank. Pat Québec
