Graham Brothers Truck became Dodge Truck as of January 1, 1929, as in the U.S. As in the U.S., Dodge Brothers (Canada) Limited and Graham Brothers (Canada) Limited became part of Chrysler Corporation of Canada Limited at the end of July, 1928. Although Fargo Truck continued into late 1930 (1931 models) in the U.S., production in Canada ended after about 43 units were built. Do not confuse this Plymouth-DeSoto-Chrysler-based Fargo with the Dodge Truck-based Fargo of the 1930s. Plymouth and DeSoto production began in July, 1928, as well as the new Fargo Truck, at the old Maxwell plant. With that, Chrysler of Canada purchased the Fisher Body plant on Edna Street at St.Luke Road in 1927.
In 1926 General Motors announced that Fisher Body would no longer be supplying bodies to non-General Motors customers. The big Chrysler Imperial 80 model E was not built in Canada. The Maxwell was replaced by the Chrysler 4 in June, 1925, and the new 1926 models were introduced. Chrysler Corporation of Canada Limited succeeded Maxwell-Chrysler Corporation of Canada Limited on June 25, 1925. The plant also built some Chalmers, but starting in 1924 assembly of the the new Chrysler Model B began. The Windsor facility at Tecumseh and McDougall opened in 1918 and was owned by Maxwell of Canada. For example, the Canada-only 1933 DQ was based on the DP and used US-built DP engines. before the Canadian engine plant went on line. Thus there are no unique Canadian engine numbers or casting numbers on engine blocks, heads, etc. Prior to 1938 all engines were built in the U.S.
until the new Windsor engine plant (25 inch flathead sixes only) went on line in 1938. And that goes for all engine numbers prior to early 1938 as well.Ĭhrysler of Canada imported engines from the U.S. Thus you cannot tell what plant a Maxwell, Chalmers or pre-1926 Chrysler was built by the serial number. And Maxwell used the same serial number sequences for all plants. Same held true for Dodge Brothers vehicles prior to Dodge production moving from the Toronto plant to the new Windsor plant as well as all Graham Brothers Trucks. It was not until the beginning of the FEDCO system for 1926 that Canadian-built vehicles had unique serial numbers.

Serial numbers on Canadian-built 1924-1925 Chryslers fell into the same sequence as the U.S.
