Zephyr
The British Zephyr nearly became Ford Australia's mass produced 6 cyl car . In the late 1950's , Ford here approached the Pommes with a view to mass producing the Zephyr for Australia . The English had a recalcitrant attitude towards the idea , and never seemed to take to the idea . Instead , Ford Aust. approached the Canadians ..... who bent over backwards to provide assistance and the Falcon was the ideal car . The XK had a few teething problems , weak ball joints were beefed up and the front end lasted over 20 years , into the XF model .
