Classic Car | Ford Zephyr Mk II
Ford Zephyr Mk II 1956 Origin UK
Engine 2,553 cc, straight-six Top speed 90 mph (145 km/h) Replacing the slab-sided 1951 Zephyr, the British Mk II gained a stylish unibody with strong American overtones, column gear levers, umbrella handbrakes, and strip speedometers. Soon these cars were available with overdrive and automatic transmissions, but still retained vacuum wipers that slowed down as the car sped up.
Long and low The longer wheelbase of Britain's Mk II Consul, Zephyr, and Zodiac models permitted sleeker looks with a lower stance; the wraparound rear window greatly increased visibility.
