Frontenac is a Falcon based car sold by Mercury dealers in Canada until the Comet was sold here. Regular Falcons were also sold here in 1960.

There is a book by a fellow in SW Ontario about the unique Canadian cars. I need to dig around and find the name and ISBN code and I'll post back here. Ford Canada site has some history but is not all encompassing.

BTW that Ranchero is just a Falcon with Frontenac grille. They were not offered as Rancheros ( Ford lettering on the hood is a giveaway too)
