1933, and the arrival of the little Fords

SIX of the new cars that rolled out of Ford’s Geelong plant in June 1933 were very significant as they 75 feature - English Ford.jpg (11750 bytes)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.
