PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Wow! Would you believe that we spent another 5 months (May, June, July,
August, September and now part of October) - “On the Road Again”. There were so
many shows, many cruises, many visitations, many successes and some problems, many
new restorations, many new friends, another great Show, great attendance at our
meetings.
What a terrific run of weather - the hottest September on record; and so far, a
great October. However, the feeling is in the air, the frost has been on the windshields a
couple of times in some areas.
It is time to check the anti-freeze, put some fuel enhancer in the tank, unhook
your batteries, and get your snow tires ready for your modern cars.
Have a wonderful autumn and a great winter, wherever you spend it.
All the best,
Garth Scott
President
FROM THE EDITOR
I have finally started writing articles on Canadian cars. My plan is to do a series on this
idea. I spent a lot of time reading and compiling notes. As expected, there is conflicting
information written in the books. I welcome all comments and input to correct them. My
article on the McKay car received some information that I put in Readers’ Comment
section of the following Antics. That is the idea of a club newsletter- input from all
members. Thank you. I look forward to more from you including articles on your
Canadian owned cars in our club for my next issues.
Christmas is fast approaching. The next Antics will be February; so, I will wish everyone
a Merry Christmas and safe but fun and healthy New Year.
Judy Houlihan, Antics Editor and Club Historian

WHAT’S HAPPENING
by Judy Houlihan
Most cars are tucked away until the spring. It has been a busy car season of car shows,
displays at Nursing Homes and car runs. It has been difficult to decide which to attend.
Mabel and Dave Dodsworth organized car runs this year. Those that went really enjoyed
the drive through the countryside. Dining Out continued for those who enjoy gathering
as a group at a local restaurant. We need someone to find another place where we can do
this each month. Tell Jane, Jean or Jackie and they will get word out to the members.
Attendance at weekly gatherings at Arby’s has dropped drastically- four! Many are
going to a larger gathering of old cars and owners at The Chickenburger on Tuesdays.
Now that the temperature has dropped, join us back at Arby’s. Meetings are still the
fourth Sunday of each month. Discussion is underway about new jackets. Refreshments
are available after the business part is over and Show and Tell starts.
What “diehard Chev and Dodge man”- “I would never own a Ford”- now owns a Ford?
It is hard to believe that Dave Houlihan bought a 1922 Ford Model T, Dr’s coupe! He
always wanted one of the really early T’s. It does not have the oval window but he is
enjoying restoring it! Harold Dillon has a new project, too. He found the fabled 1931
Chrysler Roadster in Cape Breton. He is now in search of missing parts. Watch for these
cars at future car shows. Next Antics will have an article about Harold’s car.
Remember to pay your membership dues for 2015

Canadian Cars
by Judy Houlihan
From the beginning of time, man was on the move, usually in search of food. First, it
was on foot but evolved into utilizing the animals around him. Horses, oxen, camels, etc.
were put into service to help man get around. The invention of the wheel added carts,
wagons, chariots, sleds and carriages. The Red River Cart was Canada’s first “wheeled
vehicle” and created by the Métis for fur trading in the Prairies. Man’s curiosity and
need for speed advanced his mobility to motorized vehicles-electric, steam and gas
power. Canada may not have been the first, but it did have its own car manufacturers.
There were many motorized carriages created by inventive and creative Canadians in the
early years of automobile history. Electric cars of 1890 were smooth, quiet, clean and
easy to operate but the batteries ran down too fast. Gas vehicles (1900’s) were noisy,
rough, and dirty and had to be cranked to start but ran all day with no elaborate firing up
preparation of the steam engines. Most vehicles were carriages with motors and steering
controls of various types, no windshields, primitive brakes (if any) and open to all kinds
of weather. This leads to the question of “What is a Canadian car?”
Hagerty’s 2013-spring magazine simply says it is one that is “built and sold in Canada
with distinctive grilles, trim, interiors, wheelbases and colors, plus names acceptable to
French-speaking Quebecers”. It followed with an article on a collection of restored
Canadian cars – ’53 and ’55 Meteor, ’55 Mercury Sun Valley, ’56 Meteor Crown
Victoria and ’56 Ford Sunliner, ’56 Meteor Rideau, ’57 Meteor Skyliner, ’59 Olds, ‘59
Chev Impala, ’58 and ’60 Pontiac Parisienne, ’66 Mercury Park Lane.
I spent hours at the library reading the reference book (cannot remove from the library)
Cars of Canada by Hugh Durnford and Glenn Baechler. They say the ” criteria for a
Canadian Car is designed in Canada by Canadian owned companies often using
imported parts, given Canadian names, scheduled for production in a Canadian plant.”
It had to meet 3 of the 4 criteria: designed in Canada, built in Canada, built by a Canadian
company and had a Canadian name. This book is full of information after years of
accumulating stories and facts. Definitely a must have book for historical Canadian
automotive history. The Gray-Dort is a Canadian car. It was not designed in Canada but
“is as Canadian as the beaver and the maple leaf”. It meets three of the criteria: built in
Canada by a Canadian company and has a Canadian name. Another source states: “A
Canadian Car is any car produced in Canada and was to some extent different, whether or
not part of it financing or anatomy came from outside Canada.” (Ref. Robert Collins: A
Great Way to Go, The Automobile in Canada 1973-74 edition).
What was the first Canadian car? Due to the poor collection of Canadian history, it is
uncertain. It is attributed to Henry Seth Taylor, a watchmaker from Stanstead, Quebec.
It was coal fired and had no brakes. In 1960, the 1867 steam buggy (pleasure carriage)
was found and restored. It is one of the oldest in the world! According to “Canada on
Wheels” written by John DeBondt, the first Canadian self-propelled gas car was built by
George Foote Foss of Sherbrooke, Quebec in 1897. Canada’s first production car was a
primitive assembly line that produced thirty- two cars by the Good Brothers of Berlin
8
9
(Kitchener), Ontario. In 1900, Massey-Harris was the first Canadian gas powered car
built in any quantity. In 1902, LeRoy of Montreal was the first practically full size gas
car built in quantity. The oldest Canadian car company still producing cars is Ford of
Canada (since 1904).
CMR was the first organization to build motor vehicles in Canada. It formed in the late
1890’s in Toronto. Its first vehicle was an electric delivery tricycle in 1898. Their first
and only passenger vehicle in 1899 was an electric tricycle with a box jutting out behind.
William Still, an engineer, built a lightweight electric power train including battery and
motor for Frederick Bernard Featherstonhaugh, a lawyer of Mimico, Ontario.
Featherstonhaugh (pronounced Fan-shaw) is credited for Canada’s first electric car 1893;
also as first Canadian to have a car specifically built for his use. Dixon Carriage Works
built it with electric lights (most were kerosene), pneumatic tires, small wire wheels
padded bench seat and folding top. The battery lasted an hour. It was 4-hp and reached a
speed of 15 mph. He proudly drove it for 15 years, adding mud flaps, a windshield of
sorts and steering knuckles on axle for better steering.
William Still with support of CMS tried gas engines. He used his name for incorporation
of Still Motor Car Limited, 1897-99. He patented the double action electric motor 1899.
He concentrated on electric cars but ran out of money. He was the genius behind the
reorganization as Canadian Motors Limited, Toronto, 1900, making only electric cars,
holding over vehicles from Still Motor Car Ltd. (Ref pg 76) His new brochures
promoted electricity as all the rage! –safe, easy to operate, no odors, quiet, convenient,
economic, steady uphill speed, cooler than steam cars, 17mph. It was the first Canadian
exporter of automobiles to England (1900-01). In 1902, Canadian Motors shut down.
Bits of stories about cars built in many provinces appear. Verifying them is hard. On
page 28, it states that Thomas Turnbull of St. John, NB built the first car 1851. He was a
carpenter and freemason. Two handles were moved back and forth in a rowing action
utilizing a system of flywheels and gears under the carriage to propel his three-wheeled
vehicle. It reached speeds of 30 mph. He called it “Andromonon Carriage”- Andro
(man), monon (alone). An 1851 newspaper in St. John that reported sightings of a noisy
vehicle (Turnbull?) by several residents one day only, never seen or heard again!
George Foote Foss (1876-1968) of Sherbrooke, Que. was a mechanic, blacksmith,
repaired bicycles, and an ingenious tinkerer. He designed and built the first gasoline car
(page 52). It had a unique starting system and he put the engine in the front for easier
repair access and mounted the gears on the steering column- a first. It was a 4-HP, single
cylinder car that went 15 mph and got 50 mpg. A problem with his “Foss mobile” was
the chain drive to the rear axle broke occasionally on rough roads. There were few
smooth roads in those days as they built roads for horse and wagons! He drove it daily
for five years, summer and winter, but never made another despite offers including one
from Henry Ford. He sold it for $75. He built one of the first outboard motors for his
boat and his steam-powered yacht. He moved to Montreal and became Canadian agent
for Crestmobile of Cambridge, Mass. He drove all the new cars, even Ford’s Model T.

Dr. Henri-Edmond Casgrain, a surgeon, dentist, mechanic, musician and inventor from
Quebec City modified a Leon Bollee voiturette imported from France 1897 (the first of
its kind in Canada). It resembled a wheelchair and a motorcycle. This three-speed gas
vehicle went 5-18mph. Casgrain replaced the two front wheels with steel skis and the
rear wheel with a wood rim studded with conical points for winter use. This was the first
known motor vehicle modified for winter travel. Henry Seth Taylor and George Foot
Foss created experimental vehicles unsuited for pleasure driving so the press considered
Dr. Casgrain the first motorist in Quebec and Canada (ref. Dictionary of Canada vol.
XIV). (His wife, trained by him, was the first female dentist in Canada.)
There were many cars created by Canadians. Some were one of a kind. Orton of Orilla,
Ontario made one car 1922-23 that was a Chev with a Ford engine. Others were created
and advertised to get financial backing but went no further. Gilson of Guelph had plans
and parts for a Touring but none were produced. In some cases, the car was bought,
sometimes altered a little and offered for resale under a new name. In several books I
read, this often happened several times before a car was finally put into production.
Some production companies lasted a year while others like Ford of Canada are still
producing Canadian Cars. A list of most of Canadian cars will be in next Antics.
With the start of commercial production of automobiles in Canada, components and parts
were brought to Canada from United States and Europe. Branch plants in Canada
produced the same cars as those made in United States. The Canadian names given to
companies such as Ford of Canada were misleading as they were often half owned by
Canada for years with no vital differences in the cars. Canadian controlled companies
assembled US models in Canada that were different from their US counterparts in only
minor ways. It was normal industry practice to buy parts from their local suppliers.
Giving a car a Canadian name made no difference. GM’s Beaumont and Ford’s Monarch
were basically the same as the US models of the same name. The closeness to USA
influenced the design of Canadian cars and the direction of the evolving car industry.
Canadians had to be convinced of their success before buying cars. They were skeptical,
thrifty and reluctant to invest in new ideas and creations. They wanted durability and a
good finished product. Canadians were not impressed by gimmicks or promises found in
advertisements. For example, The American market for the Model T shrunk in 1924, but
1926 was the Model T’s best sales year in Canada (which was the last full year of Model
T’s production). “Buy Canadian” was not the slogan in those days.
Major American manufacturers had branches with plants in Canada. The first was Ford
at Walkerville (east Windsor), Ont. August 17, 2014, Gordon McGregor (Walkerville
Wagon Works) secured the Ford of Canada franchise. General Motors (a Durant original)
started in 1918 when it bought/merged with McLaughlin. W.C. Durant built Star and
Durant in Leaside. Dodge began assembling cars in a Toronto plant in the mid twenties.
Chrysler took that over about 1928. For a time Oldsmobile and Reo made cars in St.
Catharine. Schacht built cars and trucks in St. Catharine’s around 1912. Its Model J.M.
touring car with self-start and speedometer was known as “The Car with the Good
Disposition”. Hupp made the Hupmobile in Windsor, Ont. For eight years, the Fritchle
Electric was made in Canada. The Rollin was made there in 1924. Willys-Knight cars,
12
Chalmers and Maxwell merged in 1917 and later became part of Chrysler Canada. In
1921, W.C. Durant set up a Canadian branch of his new company in Leaside, a Toronto
suburb, to build Star, Durant and Flint Six cars. E.M.F. (Everitt-Metzger-Flanders)
moved to Walkerville in 1909 and merged into Studebaker in 1913. In the thirties,
Studebaker acquired Pierce-Arrow with Windsor becoming a distribution center for
luxury cars. Packard assembled its first Windsor-made car in 1931. In 1954, Studebaker
took it over. Nash and Hudson started assembling in the thirties in Canada. The
information about changes and merging of car companies helps in today’s restoration of
antique vehicles. The interchangeability of parts between various cars can be understood
by knowing the history of the manufacturer - which can be convoluted and confusing.
The twenties saw the downfall of Gray-Dort, London Six Brooks Steamer in Canada and
in the US: Maxwell, Overland, Jordan, Moon, Paige, Marmon, Chandler, and Durant. The
thirties wiped out Franklin (1902-34), Cord, Reo, Auburn, Kissel, Pierce-Arrow, Stutz,
Locomobile, Hupmobile, Peerless, and Duesenberg. Ref.–Robert Collins: A Great Way
to Go, The Automobile in Canada 1973-74 edition.
.Some interesting facts from Cars of Canada:
1898: CCM’s Russell car had wheels 54 ½ inches apart with a clearance of 9 inches so it
could drive in the wagon tracks with ample ground clearance. They used parts that were
local and accessible to avoid the import taxes on “foreign parts”. Page 20
1910: Half of Ontario’s car market was #1 McLaughlin, #2 Ford, #3 Russell.
1911-1913: Mail order catalogues solved the problem of salesmen reaching customers in
less settled areas. T. Eaton listed Chalmers, Lozier, and Waverley Electric in their
catalogues and put showrooms in their stores with guarantee of satisfaction of money
refunded. . This made it unprofitable and they confined the market to selling car parts.
Late teens: cars had solid all weather “tops” with glass windows which allowed for more
comfortable winter driving- “convertibles”.
1930’s: Cars were equipped with hydraulic brakes, sophisticated transmissions and
balloon tires.
The twenties brought balloon tires, safety glass, tail lights on both sides of the car, foot
control dimmer switches, back up lights, adjustable front seat, gas gauge on instrument
panel, ethyl gasoline, four-wheel hydraulic brakes, air cleaner, power windshield washer,
car radio, horn ring on steering wheel and white wall tires were an option
Turn signals were spurned in the Thirties but returned after WWII. Source: A Great
Way to Go by Robert Collins and Cars of Canada by Richard Doyle
1906-15: Russell was the “most Canadian car”- Canadian made parts and engineering,
made in Canada and has Canadian name. It was Canada’s most successful car.
1915-1925: Gray-Dort was Canada’s most successful automakers.
1907: First gas station in Canada was in Vancouver, BC.
1916: the Bartlett had the first 4-wheel brake and air suspension systems in Canada.
Flivver: derived from a joke- a rattling drive in a T was good “for the liver”.
: A small and inexpensive automobile; anything small and cheap or insignificant
Antifreeze: early 1900’s was a mixture of water and salt or glycerin and alcohol.

1954 Canadian Ford Skyliner
By Bill Murphy
My 1954 Ford Skyliner Glasstop is one of 480 produced in Canada and one of 353 built
at the Windsor Ford Plant. The other 127 were built in Oakville, Ontario. Production of
vehicles started in Oakville in May 1953. All car production in Windsor plant ended the
following year, May 1954.
My Skyliner has a flathead 225 cubic inch engine, 3-speed standard, power steering. It
was purchased by a lady in Pointe du Chene, New Brunswick at Alex E Ross, Ltd.,
Moncton, New Brunswick on May 22, 1954 for $3426. The car is Killarney Green over
Sandstone White and has had only one repaint done in 1990. The car has several Ford
accessories including rocker panel moldings, bumper wing guards (front and rear),
spotlight with attached mirrors, fog lamps (amber), back up lights, fender skirts, rear
fender ornaments and Coronado kit.
Here is the breakdown of the VIN# of my car: 460FH54620
4 = Ford
60F = Crestline Skyliner
H = Windsor Plant assembly
54 = Model year of car
14620 = this was the 4620 vehicle assembled in Windsor
since the production of 54 models began Nov 4, 1953. My car was built in
January 1954.

Driving Mirrors in your Car
Most of us are getting a little long in the tooth and cannot swing our heads around as we
once did. This may mean that we have larger blind spots than we did when we first
learned to drive. To help make these blind spots much smaller is easier than you think. It
all depends upon how you have your outside mirrors set-up.
The old method was to set the inside mirrors to show the whole of the rear window. The
outside mirrors were set so that you could see 1/3rd of your car and 2/3rd road when sat in
the normal position. This means you can see a following car in all three mirrors.
A much better way is to set the left mirror to show 1/3rd car with your head almost
touching the driver’s side door glass. The right mirror is set up with your head tipped all
the way to the right while you lean to the right. Now you will see cars following behind
only in your inside mirror. As they pull out to pass they will disappear from the inside
mirror and appear in your left outside mirror. As they disappear from your left mirror,
you will be able to see them out the corner of your left eye, with very little blind spot.
The right mirrors set-up allows you to see traffic merging on your right, before it gets
behind you.
While on the subject of mirrors, it is good practice to check your mirrors on average
every 6 (six) seconds to keep aware what is happening behind you.

from CAA Magazine
Karl Benz is widely credited as inventing the automobile in 1866. 19 years prior
Canadian Henry Seth Taylor strapped a vertical coal boiler to a wagon-wheeled carriage
in Quebec. During its inaugural display at Stanstead Fair, a hose burst, halting the
vehicle. Taylor repaired it but ran it off the road about a year later, causing Canada’s first
car crash! - It was not equipped with brakes.
In 1899, the Good brothers’ LeRoy Manufacturing Co. built the first gasoline automobile
built in any quantity for sale in Canada. It had no brakes either and folded 1907.
The Russell Motor Company designed and built high-end cars in Toronto 1905. It had a
reputation for well-engineered and solidly built cars. Canadian material, labor and capital
made Russell a “thoroughly Canadian car”. In 1914, production shifted to war efforts
and it was eventually sold to American interests.
