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.
