Screw your unpatriotic Chevy, Ford and Dodge. How about a Maple Leaf, Mercury or Fargo?

1946 Farg0 (Dodge)

1949 Mercury (Ford)

1942 Maple Leaf (Chevy)

I thought Fargos were rebranded Dodges?

Have a 1944 Ram Kangaroo APC. A modification of the Ram which was the only Canadian designed and built tank that I’m aware of.

The tank never saw action but the Ram Kangaroo was used from late 44 to the end of the war

Oops. Put Fargo twice. They were. Should be Mercury for Ford.

The Maple Leaf is completely new to me. I  probably have heard of most other Canadian specialities.

There was also the Maple Syrup truck.  Everyone told Canada it wasn’t going to work, that you can’t make an engine out of maple syrup and that the body will melt in the rain.  No examples remain.

Interestingly, although thought of as a Canadian brand, Fargo was also sold in the US prior to WWII, but only relaunched in Canada after hostilities. It then became Turkish, later on, but that's a whole other tangent.

I have friends in Ottawa who insist on calling it Dominion Day, for some reason.
