Why did canada get Mercury trucks??

Does Ford mean something obsene in french?? Are canadians naturally attracted to the mercury name?

I just picked up the tailgate to merc-ize my 51 f-3, so kinda wondering


EDIT


So 130 posts and only one productive answer, thanks mr lancaster, guess this must be what happens when Canadians get ahold of a thread....

 

Ford marketed the Mercury truck in Canada. Dodge marketed both Fargo AND Dodge pickups in Canada. Different markets, different names.

 

Cause we're awesome

 

And you suck.

 

I have no idea, A.

 

Its Pronounced Eh

 

Cause they had second choice!

 

and the Pontiac Beaumont,Acadian,Parisienne, and the Meteor,and the Frontenac,theres actually quite a few

 

and all model A's had Robertson screws.....its a mystery

 

Actually we had both!!! Ford truck and Mercury trucks...

 

Embrasse mon tcheue!!

 

Tabarnack!!!

 

Same reason they got Meteor cars.

 

And Plodges.. of the 1/2 n 1/2s sorts.. wasnt there the Maple Leaf trucks also??

 

And we invented the Ski-Doo..

 

What they invented something?

 

Don't forget basketball. That was invented here first as well!

 

No, it's spelled "Eh", but it's pronounced "Ay".

And what the hell's a Ski Doo?

 

Lincoln-Mercury dealers on the prairies wanted a truck line they could sell. Just like Chev and GMC trucks, same shit, different pile.

 

a ski doo is what we park beside our igloo,we only use it when the dogs are tired

 

Heres mine

All late 40s and early 50s Mercury trucks came with flatty V-8s too, we didn't get any lame 6 banger trucks up here.

and we never got 6 cylinder engines in our 49/50/51 Fords or Meteors, cause we like power

 

I just learned alot aboot ford/merc trucks. thanks

 

"why is amurikan beer like screwing in a canoe? Its fucking near water"

Now that's funny!

I grew up right on the Canadian border in Washington state and never heard that one before.

 

I thought it had something to do with the metric system. Litres and s!*t

 

OK, all you hockey pucks up north listen up. Zamboni's are made in SoCal, eh...

 

and i learned well nothing , its Canada for fucks sake!!BWWHAHAHA!!

 

That's why they made the song "Crazy 'bout a Mercury" cause all the damn Ford's were sold out.

Actually Merc trucks are coolest thing since the bicycle.
