Everyone: In the City Photos section recently pics were posted of a 1964 Mercury Meteor - a car make that was made in Canada
and only sold there.
It got me thinking: How many types of automobiles were made in Canada strictly for the Canadian market by the Big Three North American automakers or for that matter any other NA makers if anyone does know?
Another memory I have is from my September 1985 trip to Ontario and Quebec-I kept noticing a car brand that I never saw before-HYUNDAI-and I wondered what they were since I never previously noticed them before-I recall that soon afterward
they began sales in the US and one of their first commercials mentioned that they had become the top-selling import in Canada
in that mid-80s time period...South Korea's introduction to the import car market.
Were there ever any imports that were strictly sold in Canada but not the USA if anyone knows?
The UT membership seems knowledgeable to answer these questions...
