aussie ford zephyr's

[castellan]

I don't know much about these zephyr zodiac consul cars.

What was the go with these.

I think in the 1959 zephyr MK II, you could option disk brakes and a 3 speed auto.
I remember my mum nearly bought a zephyr. one of the last Aussie made type. i think it had a 155 ci motor. my brother's mate had one, and it performed well.
Does anyone know the history of these cars. only mainly about the ones we got in Australia.

Were they a better car then the Holden's in them days. how!

Was ford the 1st to have a automatic transmissions in aus.
I know the XK falcon got a 2 speed auto in 1960.
But was it a zephyr or a customline or a galaxie that we Aussies first got an automatic transmission car. or was GM the 1st.
