Mike Hage Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Went to look at a car in my late friends collection. Ive never heard of a model "W" The things I noticed between my 17 SF 4 and this one that I know of are as follows.. -rear of motor mounts to crank case not to oval "yoke" thing -jump seats fold into the floor not under the seat -front passenger bucket seat does not swivel -there doesnt appear to be a wiring box on the right side of engine (maybe its just gone) -gas tank in the rear -it has a front splash pan between frame rails -no top curtain clips under the door pulls (Im assuming thats what those are) -robe cord hooks to loop in the center of the seats instead of the little swan -oil drain plug bottom of pan, needle for level indicator My friend was extremely knowledgeable. Could it be he was mistaken and his car was a 16?? Any wisdom on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stude Light Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) Series 17 SF export car built out of Walkerville, Ontario. The export cars were often a mix of parts, some of which came from previous models. They used whatever was on hand to build up a car.

Mike Hage Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Question.. so the series 17 and 18 are both SF? What about series 16? Ive got a parts book I cant find a reference to SD, SF, was there an SE? Once I get down into the dirt and splinters im finding a lot of difference between series. Is there a chart that explains this? What about Canadian models, other than the "W" for Walkerton. Mr. Quin says my 17 series 18 SF is Canadian. I understand that series overlapped years a bit. I worked in a factory for a couple years and I have a new understanding of organized confusion oh boy im getting dizzy 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
