Similarly, the same year Meteor which was sold in Mercury Dealers is not a mercury Meteor, but just plain Meteor.
Thank you for clarifying that. It really grates on my nerves when I see ads for "Mercury Meteors" or Mercury Monarchs. And yes, my book says 15 inch wheels on the Mercury (or Monarch) and 16 inch on the Fords for 47.
