WHAT YEAR WAS THE FORD FLATHEAD ENGINE DISCONTINUED IN CANADA? - 1

Ford introduced its "flathead" V-8 engine in 1932 and several variations of that engine were used in Ford and Mercury cars and light to mid size trucks up until 1954. In 54-55 the "flathead" was replaced by the "Y block" overhead valve V-8.

Actually I believe the year it was discontinued was 1953 for North America. Jet Doc is right about it but a bit ambiguous on the answer. Unless the Simca version with the was imported (1961). The Simca version was not a true flat head because it used the Ardun OHV valve configuration.
