Ford Australia is the Australian subsidiary of United States-based automaker Ford Motor Company that 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 to Ford in British Empire (later Commonwealth) countries (excepting the UK) to Canadian investors. It is perhaps the only other Ford in the Gran Turismo series aside from the US-made Ford that many people know. This Australian division of Ford first appears in Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec.

| - Ford Australia is the Australian subsidiary of United States-based automaker Ford Motor Company that 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 to Ford in British Empire (later Commonwealth) countries (excepting the UK) to Canadian investors. Its first products were Model T's assembled from complete knock-down (CKD) kits provided by Ford of Canada. Nevertheless, it is best known in more recent times for having produced the Falcon, originally a U.S. model introduced in Australia in 1960, but adapted to Australian requirements and road conditions. Since the release of the XA model in 1972, Falcons have been fully Australian designed. It also produces an SUV model called the Territory, launched in 2004. In May 2013 Ford announced that they will discontinue manufacturing cars in Australia in late 2016. It is perhaps the only other Ford in the Gran Turismo series aside from the US-made Ford that many people know. This Australian division of Ford first appears in Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec.
