Recently while travelling in N. central British Columbia, I had occassion to contact a couple of mid 50s Ford enthusiasts. I was referred to one that showed me what I believe is a very rare item. In an old shed, he had a very dilapidated 57 Ford Sunliner. He stated that as far as he was concerned it was beyond doing a restoration on, but he had hauled it out of the bush near rail tracks, where it had apparently been abandoned for many years. On examining it originally, he noticed that it had a couple of brackets attached to the engine that were not usual. On further examination he concluded that it had been a "F" code car. But the most interesting part is that he let me look at the  VIN plate, which he had cleaned up .. in the bottom slot was printed " 300 F SC" & this is on a Ford Canada built car.. Has anyone else ever seen another Canadian built F code car?  Ford Canada was unable to shed much light on the subject, & told him it was likely a dealer special order car..
