Could someone please tell me if there are any differences between 31 sw sedans that were built in Canada and here in the U.S. Thanks you very much for your help, Bill

I have a '31 SW that was built in Canada .... where I bought it. The running boards have a Canadian symbol on the bottom in the steel. All interior screws are Robertson, and the bumper clamps (the Canadian Bumper clamp can be seen in the Snyder's Catalogue) ... not many other differences.

If interested in research of Canadian Model A's, you might consider joining the Canadian Model A Ford Foundation. There are many differences, too many to mention here.

Website link: http://www.cmaff.com/index.html

From the website:

"On July 10, 2007 the "Canadian Model A Ford Foundation" was created in an effort to collect, research and archive original Canadian Model A literature, parts, upholstery, etc. The foundation was created out of necessity mainly because of the lack of information and documentation pertaining to Canadian Model A's. Many Canadian Model A restorers are unaware that Ford of Canada lost their original Model A records, drawings, blueprints, etc., in the Rotunda fire of 1962. In addition, due to recent cutbacks, Ford of Canada have closed their Canadian archives indefinitely.

The information collected will be available to all members of the Canadian Model A Ford Foundation. In addition, its our intention to work with the Model A Restorers Club (MARC) and the Model A Ford Club of America (MAFCA) in updating the Model A Judging Standards & Restoration Guidelines."
