Both, apparently. Wiki search shows that various of the Ford divisions had the Zephyr:

"For other Ford related cars called Zephyr, see Mercury Zephyr, Lincoln-Zephyr, and Lincoln Zephyr.
The Ford Zephyr is a car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company in the United Kingdom. Between 1950 and 1962, it was sold as a more powerful six cylinder saloon to complement the four cylinder Ford Consul: from 1962 the Zephyr itself was offered in both four and six cylinder versions.
The Zephyr and its luxury variant, the Zephyr Zodiac which appeared in 1955, were the largest passenger cars in the British Ford range from 1950 till before being replaced in 1971 by a larger Ford Consul and Granada."

Wow, those are interesting cars! I remember when I was young and my Mom drove me around in her white 2-door 1974 Pontiac Parisienne, no seat belts, an analog clock on the dash, and 8-tracks all the time. Ahhh, those were the days...
