Canadian Vs US differences in 67
- Thread starter shooter65
- Start date
I don't think so. I don't remember ever seeing a right hand antenna. Maybe a radio delete car that owner added antenna to left fender. Any photos?
From the searches I've done, the base looks like it might be period correct, the mast is definately modern and it's off kilter, the base needs adjusted. I hope to find the build sheet next weekend and I'll try to get a better pic of the antenna, until then, you can see it in the top right of this pic.
That was a regular replacement antenna, someone has added it.
I believe the car did not come with a radio, still haven't looked for a build sheet yet. There is a radio block off plate in the glove box so I'm guessing one of the previous two owners added the radio and hacked up the antenna installation.
This may be a better question for the B-body forum but I seem to get better answers here. Not much response over there. Does anyone know if there were any differences between 67 Coronets built to Canada spec compared to US spec other then the Speedometer and Odometer being Kilometers?
When you honk the horn, the Canadian spec car goes "Beep-beep,eh?"

A cdn 67 may have come with a poly.
Steering wheels had differences.
All speedos were in miles.
The antennas were meant for the pass side. There's a knockout area for the cable.
Always learning, I assumed if Canadian spec, it would be Kilometers. So Fargos and Baumonts were also MPH?
What about the Bricklins?
Sorry to dwell on this but I've always had this misconception.
Good news, I don't need a cheat sheet on the speedo to know how fast I'm going and my car is still low milage at 23k

Canada went to the metric system in 1976.
So your Coronet will be in MPH.
KPH speedos do exist but were installed in cars for export headed for Europe and the like.
Bricklins I am not 100% sure but may read both.
Your fender tag and vroadcast sheet will still specify whether it was Canadiam spec'd or not.
Hope this helps.

On your fender tag, under the lower case "w" if Cdn Spec'd it will read 6
U.S. spec'd cars will read an 8.
My tag 67 Monaco 500, Windsor built, Canadian spec.
Second photo is another Monaco 500 Windsor built but Spec'd and sold in Michigan, USA

Different plants coded differently. The two digit tire code tells us the cars were built at the Windsor plant and you confirmed that. Windsor plant did use the w/6 and w/8 coding.
A 67 Coronet (different plant) bound for Canada will code w/6. A US spec car will not code w/8.

It's Not Going to Shift Itself
Just an FYI. When I ordered my 76 D300 I ticked the box for the no-charge metric speedo option since the change was coming. That unit was km/kmh only, no dual markings. That led to interesting discussions concerning warranty work.
My decoding effort of the fender tag.
