Ford Canada Conventional and Modified Vehicles

[Bill Kreiner]

This is a 1926-1947 Ford of Canada sales document, breaking down by marque and type of vehicle; and if for civilian use, defense use, or if imported. Model nomenclature is unfortunately not mentioned, nor whether the vehicles were RHD or LHD. It can be very hard to read!

I retyped this into Excel to make it much easier to read:

These are both the same 1940 calendar-year production document, which the copy technician who was helping me at Benson Ford had to position differently to get the rest of the data. There is Canadian data.

As with the 1940 document, this 1941 Ford calendar-year production document had to be positioned two ways to get all the data; that said, there is still some data cut off on the top left (which refers to U.S. vehicles, and it can be figured out what the vehicles are). But I should have checked everything before leaving! The Canadian portion is clear.

Here are 1942, 1943, 1944, and 1945 Ford production documents, each with a Canadian section.

This is a 1940-1944 Deliveries to Dealers document (last page out of 7, showing Canada domestic and export deliveries at the bottom). My understanding is that in overseas markers, dealers often did the assembling of kits, even for military units.

Not sure if any of these documents have been of help, or perhaps have raised even more questions! I'll see what else I can find.

Since Canadian Ford military cars are the subject of this post, it may be helpful to include the material I have on U.S. Ford military cars. (If anyone has O'Callaghan's book "Ford in the Service of America" they should note that these documents are the source for his data on passenger-cars.)

This is the time-table for the above U.S. Ford military cars.
