Learned something new today

So I was shopping on ebay and found this advertisement

http://www.ebay.com/itm/FORD-TRUCK-AD-TWO-PAGES-LATIN-AMERICAN-MAGAZINE-1956-/260897961807?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cbebaf74f#ht_1047wt_1018
For trucks sold in Latin America, if you notice the top left red f100 is actually a M100 mercury and I only thought they were sold in Canada

Also the pics of the engines show them to be painted RED when all US sales brochures for 56 show the engine to be YELLOW

I thought it was cool.

Looks like the two tone colors for the seat is reversed too!

I always get a kick out of the export stuff. They did some pretty crazy things for export

The truck picture appears to be the short bed but the bed picture shows the long bed tubs.
