Just curious how many Canadians are on board, and where you reside in the great white north. The land of McLaughlin Buicks, Beaumonts, Cansos,Acadians, Frontenacs, Monarchs, Bricklins and many others. List the Canadian cars you can recall.
ex 0f Ottawa ...then Alberta now here in laid back NS (Hi Adamo!!) I will see ya in May when I come up to get the pontiac which I left at Finks place!
Just recalling the Meteor, Niagara, Rideau, Montcalm, and I think the Astro was Canadian only. I am sure there are many more?
anyone "old enough" to remember Canadian only cars? eg: Chevelle= Beaumont Nova = Acadian etc.......... ? lots from the 50's Ford lineup?
Calgary here--summers day today...-32C moved to canada so i could own a car with an engine bigger than 1.6L
Well, a Beaumont is a badged Chevelle. An Acadian is a badged Nova. A Monarch is a badged Mercury... but a 58-70 Parisienne, Laurentian, StratoChief.... the REAL DEAL ! TRULY a Canadian car. Pontiac exterior sheet metal ( all on the proper shorter wheelbase ), with full Chevrolet chassis and engines. What more could you want ? ! oh, south eastern Alberta... Yesterday morning... -43 C ( -45 F ), with a -54 C wind chill ( near -60 F ).
Hi, I am from Fort St John, BC. 32 essex terraplane and a 1958 ranchero minus 40 celcius this morning minus 60 with the wind
I live near Tillsonburg Ontario. My driver is a '52 Meteor. Still has the original 255 Merc flathead in it.
Is this a Canadian built truck ? I remember reading up on it years ago but can't recall the manufacter/ coachbulider.
Freezing my butt off in Calgary. Looks like a decent amout of Alberta guys. Come down to the shop and buy something!!! This weather kills me!
And, hey, don't forget Fargo trucks! And Maple Leaf's. And, slightly off topic for a rodding forum, the Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) WWII Army trucks. My brother and I have quite a few of them.
I'm in Caledon, a bit NW of Toronto. As for Canadian cars, there were also some that were badged the same, but the Canuck model was different. I had a 65 Valiant Signet 2-dr hardtop about 10 years ago. It was a different body than the base Valiant, or a U.S. sold Valiant Signet. Since they didn't sell A-body Dodge Darts in Canada until the restyle in 67 model year, the Canadian Signets used the U.S. Dart body style with the 111" wheelbase. cheers Ed N.
