Sylvain,
The information I am looking for pertains to 1950/1951/1952 Ford Canada Flathead engines.
These were produced after the end of CMP production, but I believe they were built to the Canadian Military Specification at the time. (Possibly due the escalating situation in Korea)
I think the Ford engines that went to North Africa during the war, may have also gotten this beige engine enamel, but I'm not sure.
The Canadian military spec was that all engines were V8, and all of them got larger oil filter assemblies. I also believe the beige colour was part of that spec.
Which is why we have no straight 6 ford trucks in Canada from that time period.
