Canadian T3s (was[T3] '65 1500s Trim)


<x-charset iso-8859-1>As early as '63 ALL Canadian Type 3s came with a gas heater.  Earlier cars
probably did as well but i haven't found an early enough car or other
confirmation of this.  I am also almost certain that there were no 'N' model
cars imported into Canada.  As of 64 you could order the 1500S or the 1500.
The TS model was a standard 1500S with the addition of a round 'TS' badge on
the back.  The Canadian 1500 was an S model car with a single carb engine.
In early 65 or maybe even 64 sometime this model became called the 1500E and
got an extra badge on the back.  Also as Jason noted the sidemarkers were
dropped in 65.  I believe that sidemarkers were always yellow for Canadian
cars and that the earliest cars maybe into early 63s got clear front
signals.

Anyone else?
