Ford Australia

Ford Motor Company of Australia Pty Limited (known by its trading nameFord Australia) is the Australian subsidiary of United States–based automakerFord Motor Company. It was founded in 1925 as an Australian outpost of Ford Motor Company of Canada. At that time, Ford Canada was a separate company from Ford in the US. Henry Ford had granted the manufacturing rights of Ford motor vehicles in the British Empire (later the Commonwealth) to Canadian investors.

Ford Australia's first products were Model T cars assembled from complete knock-down (CKD) kits provided by Ford of Canada. Of the many models that followed, the best known was the Falcon produced from 1960 to 2016, originally a US model introduced in Australia in 1960 and eventually adapted to Australian requirements and road conditions.
