Ford Consul
The Ford Consul was a car manufactured by Ford in Britain.
Between 1951 and 1962 the Consul was the stablemate of the bigger Ford Zephyr. It was replaced in 1962 by a new 4-cylinder Zephyr, and the new Ford Cortina. The Consul name reappeared from 1972 to 1975 as a replacement to the Zephyr range and shared a body with the more luxurious Ford Granada Mk I.
These vehicles were notable for two new technologies: They were the first to use the now-common MacPherson strut suspension, and they were the first with modern unibody construction.
The Ford Classic and the Mk I Cortina were originally named the 'Ford Consul Classic' and the 'Ford Consul Cortina'.
