    Mercury Pickup Truck

    Coming home today, I saw a Mercury Pickup Truck going down.  Looked like a 65 Ford.  I had never heard of a Mercury pickup.  I went to Wikipedia and found that Ford of Canada produced Mercury pickups.  The one I saw was in really good shape.  Here is the link to the wikipedia article.    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_M-Series

    Am I the only one who had never heard of these trucks?

    Re: Mercury Pickup Truck

    Mercury M-100 pickup production stopped in 1968. However, I believe the '68 M-100s were actually rebadged F-100s.

    The truck in the following link is supposed to be a '68 Mercury pickup. I don't know if the grille was changed or if it's a fake M-100 (?). The grille with a red stripe across the middle is a year model too late to be a '68 grille. (the grille shown is for a '69 F-100, F-250 or F-350 Ranger).

    Mercurys were Canadian trucks. Same as the US F100's.

    Not from the Ford family unfortunately, but in Turkey DeSoto truck are(?) or at least have been available. The last US made "real" DeSoto was made in 1960 as the 1961 model Wikipedia says:
