If Canadian models were like United States models, you'll see something like:
1965: 1.2L engine
1966: 1.3L engine, "1300" badge on the back, last year of "old" headlights
(not sealed beam)
1967: 1.5L engine, sealed beam headlights, reverse lights on rear bumper, last year of small oval taillights with turn signal in the top half, last year of "old" bumpers, last year of fuel filler in front trunk, last year of front seats without head restraints
1968: 1.5L engine, one piece bumpers, flat bottom taillights with turn signal on top and reverse light on bottom, external fuel filler (door does not lock), front seats had integral head restraint, steering column is collapsible during a crash, last year of swing axle
1969: 1.5L engine, fuel door locks (release in glove compartment), double joint rear axle
The swing axles found on 1968 and older models can allow the rear tires to wear unevenly (e.g. if the car sags, the inside of the rear tires will wear out faster than the outside).
