Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada | I'd lay a bet on this custom Royal being Canadian built. |

Sometimes but not always, e.g. Canadian Dodge Visconts, Regents and Mayfairs were Plymouths from the cowl back but the Canadian Custom Royals were based on the American Dodge Custom Royals but probably with Plymouth engines. Experts will correct me, as needed.

Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada | The reason I think it's Canadian is the presence of a Mylar insert on the door panel, see photo below. The US built 59 CR had cloth matching the seat inserts in that area, the Canadian models had silver Mylar.
