The Meteor Rideau is a full-size automobile which was produced by Ford Motor Company of Canada under its Meteor brand. [1] It was produced from 1954 until 1961 [2] and from 1965 until 1976. It was named for the Rideau River, a river which drains into the Ottawa River in the Canadian capital, Ottawa. From 1957, the line included both the Rideau series and the higher-trim Rideau 500. The Rideau began as the top-trim level of the Meteor line, but beginning with the 1956 models, it was the lowest trim series.
