	Ford Falcon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ford Australia needed a car that was larger than modified European Fords, such as the Zephyr, which although a volume seller was not considered suitable for the Australian market.
		Ford Performance Vehicles (commonly abbreviated to FPV) is the official high-performance arm of Ford Australia, replacing Tickford in this role with the introduction of the BA Falcon platform in 2002.
		The Ford Territory is a crossover SUV built by Ford Australia and based on the EA169 platform of the Falcon, released in April 2004.

		Ford Australia is the Australian subsidiary of Ford Motor Company and was founded in Geelong, Victoria in 1926 as an outpost of Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited.
		Ford Australia no longer has a medium sized model, having dropped the Mondeo in 2001, arguing that the segment of the market in which it competed was in decline in Australia; it is probably closer to the truth to argue that this segment is already satisfied by other manufacturers such as Toyota.

	Ford Motor Company - Featured Story - Ford Australia Commemorates 80 Years on the Line
		Ford Motor Company of Australia was incorporated on March 31, 1925, in Geelong, Victoria and almost immediately began assembling Model T cars in a temporary plant in Gheringhap Street, virtually opposite the site of the Ford Discovery Centre today.
		One year later, Ford installed a massive stamping press that was capable of stamping the entire roof panel of a Ford V8 sedan in one piece -- and so was born the complete steel body as we know it today.
		Ford was the first assembly plant in Australia to use robotics and today 123 robots (compared with 50 just five years ago) undertake work such as welding and painting.

	Ford LTD (Australia) LTD History
		Ford's existence in Australia had been present since approximately 1918, with the famous Model-T. Some 40+ years later, an era began when Ford Australia released the XK Falcon in September 1960, based on the American Falcon in certain ways.
		Ford's FE model LTD was the flagship of the Ford fleet between October 1984 and June 1988.
		Ford had planned ahead on this, and (partly) due to this, the 4.1 6 had initial problems running on Super (Leaded Fuel), although Ford claimed that the engine could operate on either fuel.

	Ford faces cutbacks to Falcon capacity \| Business \| The Australian
		FORD Australia is on a collision course for cutbacks after a profit slump, a year of falling sales and little prospect of a rebound in demand.
		Ford forecasts a 14 per cent share for the segment in 2007, with total demand steady at 965,000 vehicles.
		Mr Gorman said Ford's problems in the US meant there was more pressure than ever on Ford Australia to perform and its 23 per cent slide in after-tax profits for 2005, to $148m, had been a "significant blow".

	Ford Fiesta Zetec \| Roadtests \| The Australian
		Ford's TV advertising makes a virtue of necessity by emphasising the Fiesta's German heritage while having a poke at Teutonic thoroughness.
		The steering wheel, gear lever and radio controls are noticeably closer together than in other cars and the stereo itself is a model of user friendliness – the remote volume controls on a steering-column stalk are superfluous.
		The 1.6-litre Duratec engine is the largest available in the Fiesta range in its native Europe, and Ford Australia wisely didn't bother with any of the smaller ones.
