The Ford Zephyr and Zodiac Mark III, produced from 1962 to 1966, represented a significant evolution for Ford's mid-range offerings. Following the success of the Mark II, the Mark III models were larger, more luxurious, and boasted a more modern design. The Zephyr, available in 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder variants, catered to a broader audience, offering a balance of affordability and performance. Meanwhile, the Zodiac, available only as a 6-cylinder, positioned itself as a premium option, boasting more opulent interiors and a sportier driving experience. The Mark III's design was a departure from the previous generation, marked by a more spacious cabin, a longer wheelbase, and a distinctive "Coke bottle" waistline. Notable features included a newly designed grille with a prominent Ford emblem, a wraparound windshield, and a sloping roofline that gave the cars a distinctly modern appearance. Under the hood, the Zephyr 4 was powered by a 1.5-liter engine, while the Zephyr 6 and Zodiac were equipped with a 2.5-liter unit. While the Zephyr 4 was renowned for its fuel efficiency, the 6-cylinder models offered more power and a livelier performance. The Mark III series introduced a new independent rear suspension, contributing to improved handling and ride quality. Interior amenities were equally impressive, with luxurious appointments like bench seats, wood-grain dashboard accents, and advanced features like the optional automatic transmission. The Zodiac, in particular, was known for its plush leather interiors and a generous level of standard equipment. The Ford Zephyr and Zodiac Mark III were a testament to Ford's commitment to providing comfortable, well-designed, and reliable automobiles for the discerning driving public. They were popular choices for both private car owners and fleet operators, solidifying their position as iconic British vehicles of the 1960s.
