Ian Hayhurst Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 1915 Canadian Ford T touring for sale. 3rd owning family--sold new to the Wray family near Leamington, ON, then Cliff Arnell near Brantford, ON in 2005; I purchased from Cliff in 2006.

Runs strong and cool with external oil line. Rear end rebuilt 2010. Matching Clasco lamps. Often starts on compression. Decent cosmetically, but not a show car.

Chris Paulsen Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 What a great looking car. And what a fantastic ad. What are the differences between US and Canadian production? I know about the driver's door (4 doors total) and 30 x 3 1/2" tires all around. Were there other differences, too? Clasco lights, I didn't know about them - probably pretty unusual.Sorry I'm not able to buy it, but thanks for sharing the photos and info.

Ian Hayhurst Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Chris--thanks for the questions. You are correct about the 4 doors and the 30 x 3.5" tires. Beginning in 1913, blocks were cast in Canada and received serial #'s beginning with "C". The blocks and several other parts were marked "Made in Canada". Hubcaps do not have "Made in USA", but rather a tiny C or W under the Ford script. Reproduction hubcaps are available with "Made in Canada", but I'm not sure if/when that was the practice, originally. The Clasco lamps were made in Ford, Ontario near the plant.

Chris Paulsen Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Thanks for the info. I didn't know hubcaps with a C or W were Canadian; I just thought they were another US variation. I just checked out Ford, Ontario. I didn't know or remember it was a community in or near Windsor that was founded by Ford Motor Company. Very interesting.

Ian Hayhurst Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Oh, I could very well be wrong about the hubcaps. I am so accustomed to seeing the "Made in USA" caps, that I assumed the C/W were Canadian-only. Always something new to learn with these T's.

Ian Hayhurst Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 I remembered one of the other differences, so will take the opportunity to bump up the ad again. The Canadian '15's used forked headlights, while US cars had the single stanchion. I have seen some discussion stating that early US '15's also may have used the forks in some cases. The speculation is that the US plant shipped leftover forks, and perhaps other parts to be used up in Canada, while the US cars received the fanciest new design available.
