Following the First World War,
Canadian farmers realized the many advantages of owning a truck, from
less-expensive Ford models to such premium-priced models built by
companies such as Gotfredson Truck Corporation.
Canadian production began in 1920 with a range of commercial vehicles,
taxis, fire truck chassis and buses. Customers were impressed by the
rugged construction and the cast-aluminum radiators. The truck also
boasted Buda and Hercules engines, Timken and Clark axles and Brown-Lipe
transmissions. The Canadian plant, reorganized in 1929, continued to
produce Gotfredson trucks until 1936.
