In 1960, Ford Canada introduced the Frontenac in order to give Mercury-Meteor dealers a compact car to sell. Produced for the 1960 model year only, the Frontenac was essentially a 1960 Falcon with its own unique grille, tail lights and external trim including red maple leaf insignias. Despite strong sales (5% of Ford's total Canadian output), the Frontenac was discontinued and replaced by the Mercury Comet for 1961.
I bought mine used, in 1962. It was my first car and it was very exciting!
