hey lay off our beer... you guys still haven't apologized for Celine Dion so we're even

 

Invented in Brantford Ontario, built in Brantford and Sweden

 

We also have serviettes and toques eh.

 

Celine is from Quebec and they want to separate from the rest of us, so we can't legally apologize for the stick like wonder.

 

It's like a SEA Doo....for frozen water!

They run pretty good on the asphalt too...

Some neat info here. I like the Falcon Mercury picture, thanks for sharing that.

 

OK we're sorry she's not american Happy?

 

And when he says that they had Fords they actually had Canadian Fords like the F47 instead of the F1.

 

they made em in Rancheros too, very rare

 

Ah, I see ....
Sorta strange lookin', but kinda neat.
So, these Ski-Doo thingies are somethin' for drivin' on gr***?

 

You keep buying her music! STOP ENCOURAGING HER!

 

Big country, not so many people, so if a Mercury franchise was in east overshoe, the dealer had a small number of potential customers and Mercury covered only the mid range of the market. Adding in the Meteor (essentially a Ford with Merc trim) and a truck line gave him fairly complete market coverage.
The six was not offered simply because it did not have enough surface area to stamp on the national requirement of having the model designation and firing order in French, Algonquin, Inuit, Walrus, and English. Just can't be done. Inuit alone was worse than Danish.

 

Invented in Paramount California, eh...

i have some pics on my album theres is a pic of my 52 and my dads's 50

 

hey dana you are still livin?? lol

 

Exactly...thats why we kept the Flathead several years longer than our southern brothers...took that long to transfer all the official languages onto the Y block!
(Which also explains the need for deeper block sides...writin' room!!!)

 

ya,going to school,couple hours from home for 5 weeks(living in a motel),not so much fun for an old guy,,,ha ha ha

 

And Inuit writing wasn't even adopted till the 70's so when you got a Frontenac you got an Eskimo family in the deal to translate the owners manual! The wagon was the best deal then you would have enough room to haul them around. They also understood the cubits to hog heads for the tire inflation and how many gils per furlong you get for petrol mileage.

 

Exactly. Just like today, you can buy a Chevy Suburban in one of three ways. Chevrolet, GMC Yukon, Cadillac Escalade (never have figured out why anyone would spend an extra 20 grand to get a Cadillac grille and some Cadillac emblems on a Chevy)

 

And Hockey too......... great sport

 

Now thats ****ing brilliant!!!....can i use it...ahahahah

 

Time to burn down your White House again, been like 200 years....ahahah

 

you was refering of course to Philips screw heads....

 

Sadly, it appears that the old Canadian World ********** website has gone offline. Maybe their servers iced over, or perhaps they were eaten by moose? (meese?)

 

I stand corrected. California eh, who wudda thunkit?

 

We gave you Zamboni. You gave us hockey...

 

It's like a my **** is bigger then your **** thread.

How about if I post a Mercury RPU?
