I will ask but my coworker is friends with the fellow who provided the information to decode my VIN. I have never met the fellow. The fellow with the book is with thunderbirdregistry.com
You would be better off making a new thread for this question. Using old threads is confusing. I don't have Ford of Canada manuals that new so I won't be of much help for a 1961. You may want to mention what type of car it is. I would assume it's a Galaxie model with an FE engine but I don't know without information.
