Card Identification Forum

Not numbered and seemingly issued for/in the Quebec market with unilingual french text.

I have 34 and do not know if that comprises a complete set(not likely)

If anyone has any additional info that's great if not, I won't lose sleep over it.

Using my grade 9 french I can tell you there were 50 cards in the series, which is called "Detroit Diesel", and they were issued in some kind of trucker magazine. This card is the FL106 which according to the back of the card offers excellent visability (?) and graceful handling. Something about the motor being maintained by air cooling system and is capable of long tours (hauls?). The bottom half of the card contains the specs.

It was a reference to the motor, series 50 line from Detroit Diesel. 

I meant to say grade 8 french I guess? I read something about a new series of 50 Detroit Diesel and assumed they were talking about the card series as I know nothing about trucks, or motors. I stand corrected (3rd time this week!). C'est la vie as they say in Quebec and parts of Nouveau-Brunswick.

As someone who deals with tractors and trailers as a job, this is just a weird card to see lol

Can't seem to find anything about it though.

From Google translation the front says 

THE PRO OF FLEXIBILITY

FREIGHTLINER FL 106 TRACTOR TRUCK

The back 

Equip the FL 106 with the necessary features for the application you intend to make it. You
will get a performance vehicle of medium length with the winning configuration, of a large
technical flexibility and capable of performing very large jobs.
The construction of the FL 106 incorporates the engines of the new 50 series of Detroit Diesel, from a

advanced technology and manufactured using advanced materials. The motor part complies with the standards
severely on the exhaust gases and helps to save on fuel while being able to
great performance.
In town, the FL 106 is easy to maneuver in narrow streets and, thanks to a rear adjustment axle
and excellent visibility, arrives at busy loading docks and leaves quickly in order to
maintain the productivity of your drivers. Suitability for daily use was perfectly

designed so that your FL 106 remains on the road and not in the workshop, even taking into account
Scheduled maintenance.

Two years of french in 3rd and 4th grade were no help.  

My 1st time ever seeing them, 34 different ones from this "set" and a whole lot of other assorted tough to locate were in a recent batch i acquired. To me someone had an idea to promote their vast line of products by creating trading card sized spec sheets as opposed to a catalog style, and being only in French likely intended for only the Quebec market. They are quite thin even thinner than 2020 topps baseball in stock terms

LOL ... at least I got visibility right. Stae in skool kidz!!!

When referring to vehicles, visibility means how much you can see outside when you are inside it. 

Thats a great find. I'd gladly take them off your hands, let me worry about cataloging them
