Mercury Trucks
Hi
I was looking through the picture gallery the other day and a Mercury pickup caught my eye. I've never seen one before, I understand they were built in Canada. Do they still build Mercs up there ? If not what year did they quit ?
Thanks in advance

I THINK they stopped around the end of the 60's or about there. I'm really not sure, but perhaps somone on the 61-79 forum would know

Ive seen a few of them & they were only made in Canada . Im not 100% sure , but I think either 1970 or 1971 was the last yr they were produced . They were the same as the Fords except for the name & different grills & maybe some other minor details .

They made those Mercury trucks from the late 40's/early 50's up into the early 70's. Basically, they are the same as the Fords, with different chrome trim and the "M" nomenclature instead if the "F" i.e. M-100 instead of F-100. I think these trucks are very appealing for collectability. Of course, we don't see many of them down this far south (North Carolina). I know one thing for sure, I sure would like to have one!! Go into the Classifieds here and check out the '61-'79 area. Seems I remember seeing a Unibody Merc for sale in there only a few days ago. The ad also had a picture of the truck. Check out that tailgate!! That "Mercury" script on there sure looks odd, doesn't it? It wouldn't look nearly as odd setting in my driveway ::-):
