This is the Cover of the Australian Ford Sales Brochure for the 1958 Fords. They came in two models, the regular Ford Customline, (Brown & Cream car in background) and the Fordomatic, (Tri-colour car in foreground).
The Customline came as a Manual Transmission while the Fordomatic came with Automatic Transmissions.
This was the only model that used the Canadian 1955 Meteor Grille.
In 1959, Ford Australia once again offered what was the current model in the USA, but like in 1957 and 1958, this true 1959 model once again was carried over into 1960 and 1961 with subtle updates, but that is another story.
