The Ford Motor Company of Australia Limited, known by its trading name Ford Australia, is the Australian subsidiary of United States-based automaker Ford Motor Company. It was founded in Geelong, Victoria, in 1925 as an outpost of Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited. At that time, Ford Canada was a separate company from Ford USA. 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 Ts assembled from complete knock-down (CKD) kits provided by Ford of Canada. It is best known in more recent times for having produced the Falcon from 1972 to 2016, originally a US model introduced in Australia in 1960, but adapted to Australian requirements and road conditions.
