No news here. Combining two company's sales totals to beat another brand is not right.
Oh, I think it depends on whose Ox is being gored. :B
Up until the '68 model year, in Canada, the Ford Motor Company Canada, used to sell both Ford and Mercury trucks. After the '68 model year, Ford-Canada dropped the Mercury truck and Merc dealers then sold Ford pickups.
No more splitting the line and splitting sales between Ford and Merc trucks. It would be all Ford truck, in Canada, for the '69 truck on.
It was about that time Ford pickups, first started to outsell Chevy pickups in Canada. But then, GM Canada still sold both Chevy and GMC pickups as they have since time immemorial.
BTW, I'm not anti Ford, just calling them the way I see them. In fact our family business back in 1968, had one of the last of the Mercury trucks. It was a '68 Merc M 250...with the 300 cube inline six, three on the tree. Good truck, but wasn't the 300 I 6, a Ford engine ? ;)
If so, why did our Mercury truck have a Mercury decal on the engine ? :D
