Fantastic Ford Consul , we had one, remember my parents took it on holiday to Scotland touring, when they came back took it hot of the drive with 2 friends + giant army tent down to St Ives Cornwall. Never missed a beat never burnt the wheel bearings out like later Fords, they were a superb FORD PRODUCT very well built, the engines were very good, bit of valve bounce if you over did it, but they cruised well. Superbly reliable everything so easy to maintain.
I kinda like it. The four rear-view mirrors are most interesting: the ones mounted on the fenders are supposed to show incoming cars without the driver having to move his look away from the road, and the ones mounted high-up on the doors probably look down at nearby curbs to help with parallel parking. Very clever system, a lot of old cars have it, I wonder why it's not in use anymore. Probably because of pedestrian safety concerns.
My neighbour had one supplied by his employer The Coop Funeral Home, Gravesend He was the only house with a car on a road of semi-detached houses in the village of Chalk just outside Gravesend
WOW--that was the impact of this futuristic little car, in 1950. It was streets ahead in styling. An American car in miniature. All previous fords belonged to the 1930's.
Muy bonito tu auto este lo estás cuidando mucho está precioso el color las llantas está bien bien cuidado está precioso muchas felicidades me encanta el color y las ruedas a mí más que nada los autos antiguos
Like many Fords of that era it had those hopeless vacuum windscreen wipers. Need to go faster when it is raining, accelerate and the wipers stop! Only Fords could design something that stupid.
I agree vacuum wipers are hopeless but Ford did NOT design them! That dubious accolade goes to Joseph Lucas who designed the system in the 1920's for the Austin Motor Co. I remember my grandfather owning two Austins in the late 1950s and early 1960's complaining about the wipers. So NO! It wasn't only Fords!!

My dad owned one, he took us all over Cyprus in it, fond memories of that car.
Im 65 and I never saw one this bright and shiny..I prefer the faded patina

Looks great. Love the rims
Meu pai tinha um desse aqui em Curitiba nos anos 70, comprou de um médico!! Estava novo, seu interior era vermelho e tinha câmbio em cima no volante.

I learnt to drive in one of those in New Zealand 1978... but... it definitely was not a 2 litre zetec Lol
A lovely car for its day & the Zephyr was even nicer😃 Ford seemed to lose its way somewhat later on 🤔
