Looks like a 1951+ Ford Consul/Zephyr Convertible |

How do you know this is a Zephyr and not a Consul? Because the picture is that blurry I've difficulty to see if this has a wider gap between the front wheel arches and the front door, and I can't see the chromed boot handle. And it was never ever called Zephyr 6 when Mk1 and Mk2. IT WAS CALLED "ZEPHYR SIX"!!!!! (And the Mk2 just "Zephyr".) Appologize for writing in capital letters and using exclamation marks, but I've tried to point this out several times here on Imcdb. |

It looks Consul-short to me rather than Zephyr-long. |

@lateef: I'm sorry. I didn't want to upset anyone, just to make this right. I don't know how to get believed, and I've tried several times without getting any result. Still; I'm trying once more: - The 1951 until early 1956 models were called "Ford Consul", "Ford Zephyr Six" and "Ford Zephyr Zodiac" http://www.philseed.com/fordzephyr51.html . Collectively they were called "The Five Star Cars". - The 1956 until early 1962 models were called "Ford Consul", "Ford Zephyr" and "Ford Zodiac" http://dakotaboo-vintage-books-magazines.blogspot.se/2010/10/vintage-motor-sport-magazine-c1959.html . Collectively they were called "The Three Graces". - The 1962 until january 1966 big UK models were called "Ford Zephyr 4", "Ford Zephyr 6" and "Ford Zodiac". To make it easier when referring to the respective models I don't mind calling them Mk1, Mk2 and Mk3, but they were never called that by Ford themselves. I'm just trying to be correct. I know all this because I own a 1955 Ford Consul (project, but complete), a 1957 Ford Zodiac (rather a lot to do, but a dream car when finished. Hence my nickname.) and a 1960 Ford Zephyr (MOT'd, but not entirely original), and I have to know this when hunting for spare parts. Not easy. -- Last edit: 2012-06-13 20:37:44 |

I'm happy to agree with your list of names/marks. I did not know about Mk1 Zephyr having Six epithet until recently, but this was demonstrated on various entries so seems solid. |
