I'm thinking Monarch was Ford's crawler line. I'm hoping one of you can verify this. I'm hoping this will help narrow down the age of this piece but I don't know much about the Ford history. Any thoughts? I will ask on the Ford forum also. Thanks.

I believe that Monarch was a car line. We had a neighbor that had a Monarch car in the '60's, although the car was at least 10 years old when he got it. it was big, luxury type of sedan.........the first time I saw electric windows.
 

My brother owned a 1956 Monarch in the 60's . It was a 4dr hdt with lots of chrome and had a 312 V8 4bbl carb. Not sure if they were only built in Canada .

Correct. Monarchs were introduced in Canada for sale from the late 40's to the early 60's excluding the Granada twin. They were built to fill the gap between the basic Fords and top of the line Lincolns. Monarchs were very similar to US built Mercurys of that era; built to compete with Buick/olds/Desoto. I think the Monarch emblem, a crown, sorta was used to copy the monarchy government in England which still had some influence here.

I guess I should've googled it first. Looks like Monarch was a Ford car line from 1946-1980.
I'd still like to know what decade this would be from. Any guesses?
