You are right and I've had to correct a lot of people on those points too. This ad just happened to feature both the Mercury and the Meteor in it since you could buy either one from the same dealership. If you wanted a Monarch you had to go the Ford dealerships. We had a Ford/Monarch dealership here in town. I still have some of their bill/letter heads with the name of the dealer on them.
Here is a 49 Ford + Monarch two page ad I have.
