Monarch hubcaps
I picked a couple of Monarch hubcaps that came on 15” rims. Did Canadian monarchs have 15” rims? These cap fit my 16” rims no problem. Still have to find a couple more.

Re: Monarch hubcaps
I believe that 47-48 Mercs did have 15" rims. Good find ion the hubcaps. they are rare and very desirable. I'd love to have a set.

Re: Monarch hubcaps
The 46-48 Monarch's had these hubcaps. Hard to find even repairable ones.

To answer 36coupe's question, the 1946-1948 Monarch's came standard with 15" Wheels, just like the similar year Mercurys. The Monarch is quite often referred to as a Ford Monarch, as they were sold in the Ford Dealers, but officially, they were known just as Monarch. Similarly, the same year Meteor which was sold in Mercury Dealers is not a mercury Meteor, but just plain Meteor. |

Re: Monarch hubcaps
Hi CoolCoupe, Unfortunately, the Monarch Sedan Coupe is not mine. It resides over 1000 miles from me down in Victoria. I took this photo at an Australian Early Ford V8 Nationals.

Re: Monarch hubcaps
The Canadian set up was unique in the world of Ford automobiles. They couldn't re-badge a car under a different marques name, ie a Ford could not be re-badged under the Mercury name and visa versa. The answer was the different names altogether such as Monarch & Meteor.
