Is the above Warranty Plate info correct for this pictured Mercury M100...or not? Something smells, and it ain't hay.
I have the 1966 Ford factory color chip chart. WM: W = Marlin BLUE (Medium Blue) / M = Wimbledon White.
B81: B = Medium Blue Crush Vinyl & Medium Blue Cody Pattern Woven Plastic / 81 = 81B Custom Cab.
If the truck was Blue and White originally, why did the seller repaint it Caribbean Turquoise (COLOR code B) and White?
MODEL F100 = F100 2WD / 5,000 lbs. GVWR.

it definitely says ford made in canada.
Also, if you look at the upper valance where the e, c, & r are, is that how mercury attached those letters? just welded on some extra plates? or is that someone's install job?

Since the MODEL code is F100, the assembly plant code is C and the DSO code is A7, this truck was assembled in Oakville, Ontario Canada, and sold new in the Pacific District of Canada.
C5TZ8190C .. Upper Grille Panel / Fits: 1965/66 FORD F100/700.
CC6TB8190B .. Upper Grille Panel / Fits: 1966 MERCURY M100/700.
Where or where are the specific to MERCURY only front fender emblems? No see um.

I mean, why does anyone repaint their vehicle a different color, especially when trying to sell, they pick one that will sell, and you will always have a high demand for rangoon red (Wasn't there a different red too?), caribbean turquoise, and black on these trucks.Also notice it has all of the custom cab goodies, the sweep speedo, the (incorrectly chromed, but...) shiny grill, windshield reveal molding, but NO custom cab door script! is it a custom cab clone as well? something tells me the script wouldn't fit on after those wrong mirrors were put on.

maybe ZIP's is a clone too! haha
Straight from the seller:
Q: Is it have ford or mercury on the paperwork? Thanks,jeff
A: The title shows Mercury.
So whether it originally was a ford or mercury, it doesn't matter because it is officially a mercury now! I'm starting to believe that it is possible that it truly is a merc, and those badges were in bad shape, or were broken, or lost in the restoration process, and you see restored Fords that don't have the badges too! so... who knows... whether it is or it isn't, it's still a nice looking truck.

Because Caribbean Turquoise is a prettier color!
This is your opinion, others may not share it.

If the Custom Cab door guards were on this truck originally, it would not have Custom Cab door nameplates.
If the Custom Cab door guards were factory installed...Ford...for some reason did not install the side mouldings.
Parts catalog sez: C3TZ8120966A right & C3TZ8120967A left = Use without side mouldings.
btw: I could type a history of the color green...but..I'd rather not.
Suffice to say that green was not available for certain years, as it had gone out of favor.
