This good looking Merucry pickup retains a 240 cubic inch straight six engine in the detailed engine bay and a manual three speed transmission with a column mounted shifter. The two red and white finish is mimicked by the two tone interior with cloth bench seat. A great looking truck and an interesting footnote in both Ford and Canadian automotive history.
