1957 Ford Zodiac

The 1957 Ford Zodiac, part of the Mk II series, exemplifies a blend of style and performance within the “Three Graces” lineup alongside the Consul and Zephyr. This model is powered by a 2,553 cc straight-six cylinder engine, generating approximately 86 bhp. It offers two transmission options: a three-speed manual or an optional, more costly three-speed Borg Warner automatic. The 1957 version introduced the “Highline” body style, characterized by a higher rear roofline compared to the later “Lowline” variant, and features round reflectors on the tail lights with body-colored headlamp rims. Exterior elements include two-tone paint, whitewall tires, chrome wheel-trim embellishers, and gold-plated badges. Inside, the Highline variant boasts leather upholstery and a distinctive hemispherical instrument cluster, enhancing both comfort and aesthetics in this mid-century automobile.
