Here is my buddies Canadian built 1960 Ford Monarch Lucerne which his Dad had purchased new.

Just came back from the Ypsilanti Orphan car Show in Michigan traveling nicely down I-94 at 65mph.

neat read!

Many years ago, I purchased a paperback book "Canadian Cars" by M. Perry Zavitz. I still have it somewhere. Very interesting. It describes all the differences between Canadian and US models from WWII up, make by make. I was disappointed it did not have many illustrations but very informative nonetheless. There was recently a picture of a '55 Canadian Dodge convertible posted on FB (in Cuba). Dodge front, Plymouth rear. I was a car geek from day one and remember seeing Canadian cars that I found really confusing. At the age of 4 or 5, I remember seeing a '54 Canadian Pontiac or what I thought was a '54 Chevy with silver streaks on the back and asking my father why that Chevy had them.

Canadian Valiants in 63-64 had American Valiant front clips with Dodge Dart bodies.

Great article as usual ! There is an old baby blue Fargo pick-em-up that runs around over here. I had seen pics only of the them before, now I'm watching for a Mercury truck to compete with him, ha !
