The Zephyr Zodiac (or Zodiac Mark I) was an upmarket version of the Zephyr launched at the London Motor Show in autumn 1953. It had two-tone paintwork, leather trim, a heater, windscreen washers, whitewall tyres, and spot lights. The engine had a higher [[compression ratio]] – 7.5:1 instead of 6.8:1 – increasing the maximum power to {{convert|71|bhp|abbr=on}}.<ref name=Motor1955/>

A car tested by ''The Motor''  in 1955 had a top speed of {{convert|80|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} and could accelerate from 0-{{convert|60|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} in 20.2 seconds. A fuel consumption of {{convert|22.2|mpgimp|L/100 km mpgus}} was recorded. The test car cost £851 including taxes.<ref name=Motor1955>{{cite journal|title = The Ford Zephyr Zodiac| journal=The Motor| date = 8 June 1955}}</ref>

No official records exist of Zephyr Zodiac convertibles being produced, but  a few estate cars were built.
