Sorry, but you missed my intentions with this thread. I was hoping for Canadian version vehicles only. I'm pretty sure all those ones you posted were available in the USA also. Canadian versions only please.
I took all those pictures today. Being Canada day, I figured I should post some Canadian versions. The first group of photos are my stuff. Not presently for sale. The second group of photos are an upcoming auction. www.auctionbill.com/saskatchewan-auctions/gervais-family-farm-wheels-museum-lifetime-collection-s-415349.html
It's cool (at least for us down here in the U.S.) to see all of the Canadian versions of these cars, all of the Meteors, Acadians, Mercury trucks, etc. Great thread idea,
^^^^^what makes this IHC different from and American built truck of the same?^^^^^ What am I missing?
What i was trying to accomplish with this thread is to have vehicles UNIQUE to Canada (and before some smartass jumps in, I realize some were available in other countries too). Meteors, monarchs, mercury trucks, maple leaf trucks, Canadian Pontiac that were different from USA versions......etc.....these vehicles had different trim etc than vehicles built in the USA.... am I the only one that knows the difference?
@borderboy1971 That is pretty specific and its pretty obvious you have surrounded yourself in automobile in the parts field for quite some time and parts matching US/Canadian is part of that knowledge base but we can try. I have a rotting Pic or two of a 49/50 ish Mercury M1 pickup here but wouldn't have a clue if it was unique to Canada but I would post not trying to be a smartass. So perhaps the unique to Canada was overlooked in error not nessesarily in a smartass way.
Mercury trucks weren't made in the USA. So yes...Canadian. And my reference to smartass....Fargo trucks and Canadian Dodges (dodge car front sheet metal on Plymouth bodies) were also found in Australia, Cuba and other countries. But Fargos, and plodges were never manufactured in the USA.
Its better to educate than to flame...they have Canadian plates so it would be easy to assume its a Canadian model only and that again is an unknown with many of us unless you were exposed to this knowledge. So this truck is in fact unique to Canada...so here ya go In a coincidence the really cool side logo/model trim reminds me or the Avrocar concept model that was by Avro Canada in the early fifties. https://www.blogto.com/city/2013/11/that_time_toronto_hid_a_flying_saucer/
