The Vega was sold initially in Canada just as a Chevy Vega. A few years into the run GM gave Pontiac a version called the Astre. When the Chevette came along a Pontiac version was sold in Canada as the Acadian. Finally when the Chevy Corsica came along GM Canada gave Pontiac a version called the Tempest. -- Greg Beaulieu Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada Olds List Admin Info: http://oldslist.oldsgmail.com |

There were Canada only brands too - as well as a whole horde of different Model names that were not their own division. Ford and Lincoln Mercury still co-exist on paper, I believe, but ther are no longer Lincoln Mercury dealers. Only Ford dealers now. Chev/Olds /Cadillac will be Chev/Cadillac, while Pontiac Buick still co-exists. Chrysler? I believe Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep are now all one division of Daimler Chrysler, with Plymouth out of the mix. In the early Sixties Valiant was it's own brand, not a model, as was the Imperial. Model names that have dissapeared include Neon, Continental, New Yorker, Coronet, Charger, Satelite, Acadian, Beaumont, Canso, Polara, and hundreds more |

Lincoln and Mercury are not always branded together, the last Ford dealership I worked at was and still is a Ford-Mercury dealership. We did warranty work on Lincolns, but did not sell them. You can also add Imperial to the list, as prior to 1990, it was a separate brand from Chrysler. |

Only Ford dealers now. Then all those L-M dealers will be really sore that they shelled out for those fancy new signs. Lincoln-Mercury moved its headquarters to California some years ago, and is still quite alive. > Chev/Olds /Cadillac will be Chev/Cadillac, while Pontiac Buick still > co-exists. Huh? GM announced that Olds is being phased out, but all of those are independent makes, and there are plenty of dealerships that sell only one of them. > Chrysler?

Maybe in Canada, but in the US there are still separate Lincoln-Mercury Dealers (but as far as I know no separate Lincoln and Mercury dealers). There are a lot of Ford-Lincoln-Mercury dealers, but the two divisions still have separate marketing organizations. Ed |

The Ford dealers in this part of Canada also sell Lincolns and I have even seen a few Mercurys in the lot, but I think they're only carrying that Black four-door sedan with funny wheels. I think they call it 'Marauder.' -- 'dreas...tbtw#5 'They say for centuries lovely Japanese girls Victoria Taxi#15 have been trained in the art of pleasin' men.
