I wonder if Ford Canada started production like Ford USA in mid 1945 with commercials & trucks. The C in C59A indicates the Canadian manufacture and the 59A is 1945 design intro with 239 CID and A designates design revision. Pretty much just like 59A in USA manufacture.

The transmission number is a Canadian VIN but 1A prefix is older. Perhaps 1940/41.
