I will do some homework on this one.  I think they were Mercury only.  If George was like my father, he would have put a chrome pot metal logo on a new car and a sticker/decal on a used car.  I found this on Changing Vancouver.


In 1947 a Ford dealership was added, Black Motors, run by George Black. We're not sure if the service station always had a sales building on Richards, or was remodeled to add the showroom at the back of the site in a matching style. According to their directory entry the dealership sold "Mercury, Lincoln, Meteor and English Ford Passenger Cars; Mercury Trucks", and were "Wholesale Parts Distributors for All Ford Products." It was a big operation; there are over 20 employees listed in the 1948 street directory.

I acquired this dealer badge for my Torino:



I can't believe I was fortunate enough to find one from the dealer my car was delivered to:

Very cool! Love that attention to the small things.

How did you manage that?

I did a Google search for the dealership, that's how I found the old "Merry Xmas" from them:



I then did a "Google search" for Springdale Ford  Emblems and I found this on EPay:



Sometimes you just get lucky...   

Springdale is where Jerry's Classic Cars is located

The used vehicles got the paper sticker, new vehicles got the chrome. Every couple years Dad changed the chrome ones to read Ford-Monarch, Ford-Falcon, Ford-Mercury.
M.S.A. stood for the three communities, Matsqui, Sumas, Abbotsford.

  The dealership where my dad bought his brand new California Special. I remember going with him back to the dealer after a few months for some warranty work. The showroom had a brand spanking new black jade CJ 69 Mach 1, so tried talking him into trading up for it......he wasn't having any of it.

It's cool that you have those emblems

Yikes! I always liked the 72 Gran Torino Sports, that poos car certainly got some of the horrible late 70s, "Disco era" modifications. Likely had shag carpet, and a Craig Power Play 8 track tape deck, with wedge speakers just sitting on the rear window deck panel, air shocks, and a set of Thrush mufflers or "Purple Horny" glass packs. That poor car!
