And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

My brother-in-law in Tennessee had a neighbor with several junk cars in his yard. One was an Edsel Ranchero. I'd never seen one before and assumed it was someone's build. Later, when Google came along, I found out there was such a thing.
Beaumonts and Acadians were available only in Canada and Brazil. The Canadian ones had a small maple leaf in the hood emblem, while the Brazilian ones had a palm tree. Many models had Chevrolet drivetrain and Pontiac interiors, whit the SD / Sport Deluxe models equipped with the GTO dash and upholstery.
Maybe an old Forest Service or Utility truck - because of the crew cab, which were rare back then? Railroads have skinnier wheel stance to ride the tracks.

ReplyDeleteMercury trucks were renamed Fords built in Canada. They did the same with a few others as well.
ReplyDeleteMerc trucks in the early 50's had some extra and unique chrome in the cab.

ReplyDeleteI once saw, a long time ago, a 69' Chevelle that was actually a Canadian Beaumont.
