For 1958 Chrysler of Canada two tones - X - Dover White - Roof J - Spruce Turquoise Metallic - Lower X - Dover White - Insert The Big Three (GM, Ford, Chrysler) used US company colours, but also came up with Canada-only colours. Also, all colours for Chrysler of Canada, for example, were...

Definitely from an American Dodge Custom Royal. The highest engine number for a Canadian Custom Royal D63-3 would be around 8000-C All Canadian-built engines had "-C" at the end from 1938 into the 1960's.

You may be surprised how much Chrysler Corp cars shared. For roof panels for the 122" and 126" wheelbase models : 1867 873 - 4 door Sedan & Hardtop Sedan - Low rear window - Dodge Polara, DeSoto and Chrysler. 2093 264 - 4 door Sedan & Hardtop Sedan - High rear window - DeSoto and Chrysler...

Actually, the 122"/126" Dodges and Chryslers were called C bodies in 1962. In the March, 1962 issue of Popular Science the author of the "Detroit Listening Post" was writing about the new Dodge 880 and how it shared parts with the other C body cars. Said it was another way Chrysler was able to...

Most interesting and that really is something I never heard about before. I guess Rambler didn't serve the market due to the undisputed use of the Rebel Name. Ford had to christen the Mustang officially as the T5 in Germany because two manufacturers already had that Name saved over there...

And the 1962. Used the same grille and taillamps as the 1962 Lancer, but with the 1961 instrument cluster.

Don't know about the "leftover" thing, looks like they were pushing the DeSoto Rebel as an upmarket vehicle. The interiors were nice and the instrument panels were RHD and based on the 1960-61 design. First for the 1961 DeSoto Rebel

The Diplomat was built in 1960 and 1961 based on the Dart. It was exported to various countries around the globe and were built in Detroit plus sedans built in Canada. The 1962 DeSoto was a Chrysler South Africa special with DeSoto nameplates placed on Dodge Darts. They did the same with...

1960 was the first year for US Mopar cars for the alternator. They were an option on all but the Valiant (standard equipment) and apparently the late 1960 Imperials had the alternator standard. For 1961 the alternator was standard on all US Mopar cars. In Canada, though, generators were...

Actually the Plymouth-based export DeSoto dates back to 1937. The 1937 Plymouth came as P3 and P4 (DeLuxe). The 1937 DeSoto export six was SP3 and SP4 (DeLuxe). The Diplomat name was used starting with the 1949 models. The model numbers used the Plymouth number with an "S" added through...

Sorry, but 118" wheelbase was full size in the late 1950's and into the 1960's. Intermediates came on the scene for 1962, when the Ford Fairlane (115.5")and Mercury Meteor (116.5") were introduced. Plymouth and Dodge dealers were rather upset with their 1962 models as the Plymouth and Dart...

Alternators were optional on U.S.-built 1960 Mopar cars (except Valiant which was standard) and standard for 1961. Canadian-built 1960-62 Chryco cars had the generator as standard equipment, including the Valiant, and standard for 1963. The roof bit actually strengthens the roof stamping...

The US built 1959-1960 Windsor and Saratoga used the RB 383. Helped Chrysler cover the cost of the RB block. The Windsor used a 2-bbl carb and the Saratoga was 4-bbl. In Canada, the 1959-1964 Windsor used the B block 361 V8, 2-bbl, while the Saratoga used the B block 383 V8, 4-bbl. Checked...

Chrysler Corporation basically used the same sales codes for all makes. Imperials had some unique options and thus those sales codes were not used by the other cars. But basically the sales code book for a Chrysler will work on an Imperial. Codes changed from year to year as options were...

The 1962 Dodge Custom 880 lifted trim pieces from the 1962 Dodge Dart 440, 1962 Dodge Polara 500, and 1961 Chrysler New Yorker. "Parts bin" engineering at its finest. But the 1962 Custom 880 was a success in one department - sales. The 1961 Polara was in production from August, 1961 to...

The RB 383 was used in 1959 and 1960 US-built Chrysler Windsor (2 bbl) and Saratoga (4 bbl) models. Canadian 1959-60 Chrysler Windsors used the B 361 and the Canadian 1959-60 Saratogas used the B 383.

Wonder if No 2 was the old truck / Imperial Quality plant at Tecumseh and McDougall. It was closed for good at around the same time as the engine plant - 1983. A few years back someone on another internet forum came up with a photo labelled "Plant No 5" which was used for export from the late...

What were plants 2, 4 and 5?

For the 1962 Chrysler of Canada paint chart, XD is X - Polar White (Ditzler 8293) roof and D - Dawn Blue (Ditzler12403) for the body. The Blue was also used on US 1962 Chryslers (Dawn Blue, code C), Dodges (Powder Blue, code C) and Plymouths (Pale Blue, code C). Ditzler 8293 was code W on US...
