The Ford Zephyr was a car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company in the United Kingdom. It was a larger saloon to complement the Ford Consul. The Zephyr and its luxury variant, the
Zephyr Zodiac which appeared in 1955, were the largest passenger cars in the British Ford range from 1950 to 1971 before being replaced by a larger Ford Consul and Granada.
The cars shown here is a Mk I model made from 1951-55, and a Mk II made from 1956 -61. The pictured Mk II is a late model, a so called "lowline" due to a flatter roof pressing. The Mk III range was made from 1962 until the completely new Zephyr/Zodiac Mk IV was released in 1966. This car was a design that more resembles one of the later Consul/Granada range with V-engines and individual rear suspension.
Although the Ford Zephyr never saw American production or sales, the nameplate itself has appeared on other American Ford-related cars: the Mercury Zephyr was an upscale version of the Ford Fairmont, and the
Lincoln Zephyr began its second production run in 2006 (the first incarnation ran from 1936 to 1942).
