Editing Ford Zephyr (section)

====Australian production====
In Australia, the Mark II Consul, Zephyr, and Zodiac were built at [[Ford Australia]]'s factory in [[Geelong]]. Sedan, [[coupe utility]] (more commonly abbreviated to "Ute"), and both four-cylinder Consul and six-cylinder Zephyr [[station wagon]] versions were produced. No Zodiac version station wagons were offered. The Australian-developed Mark II Station Wagon differed from its British Estate Car counterpart in having a wind-up rear window,<ref name=Darwin135>{{cite book|first=Norm |last=Darwin |title=The History of Ford Australia |year=1986 |page=135 |publisher=Eddie Ford Publications |isbn=9780959228717 }}</ref> and a straight C pillar, rather than a curved one. A handful of Station Wagons were registered in 1958, but sales did not really commence until about halfway through 1959. Also, the Australian-designed and -developed ute version differed significantly in its cab design and rear panels to that of its British counterpart. Mark II manufacture continued until 1962, when production switched to the assembly of Mark IIIs from imported [[knock-down kit|complete knock-down]] (CKD) kits.<ref name=Darwin135/> It had originally been planned by Ford Australia to facelift the Mark II as its main competitor to the rival Holden, but due to the exorbitant price being asked for by Ford UK for its now redundant production jigs for the Mark II, Ford Australia chose to instead locally manufacture the newly released North American Ford Falcon, which was significantly cheaper to manufacturer than the Zephyr, with the Mark III being relegated to special order only.
