SIX of the new cars that rolled out of Ford’s Geelong plant in June 1933 were very significant as they heralded the beginning of a long association with Ford of Britain and Ford’s entry into the light car market.
The six cars were Model Y 4-door sedans (named Fordor in Fordspeak), powered by a 23 horsepower, 4-cylinder engine.
The little Fords were virtually scaled down models of the larger V8s and provided Ford Australia with a larger range for its customers.
And of course, in typical Aussie fashion, Ford Australia devised utility and van versions built on the car chassis.
