Title: Canadian Cars of yesteryear...

Found this article pretty interesting.  I bet some of our Canadian members don't even have a memory for things such as a Frontenac or a Monarch Lucerne!  A good read.
In reality, how condescending was it to just badge everything with Fleur de Lis, Maple Leaves, and Crowns?  May as well put hockey sticks in there too, right?  Anyway, makes for fun history.  Canada, we're sorry!  ;D

I remember those cars. I used to live in Oakville where Ford has a large assembly plant.
