In an old podcast from Coast to Coast Am, a caller referenced that there was a car from the Baby Boomer era which was called Zodiac. And there was: it was produced by Ford Britain, and it was a variant of the car Ford Zephyr.

Here is what the Wikipedia Article on the car says: "…Although the Ford Zephyr never saw American production, a very limited number were imported into the U.S. and the name itself has appeared on other American Ford-related cars."

Is there any suspect that we knew owned a Ford Zephyr/Zodiac?

Larry Kane moved to Zephyr Cove (Lake Tahoe) in his later years. That’s about it. ;)

There used to be a really good photo of one at zodiackiller.com. I can no longer find it.

Here’s one though – distorted circle-cross n’all:

Ford Zodiac 2600 1965


…they may be dealing with one or more ersatz Zodiacs–other psychotics eager to get into the act, or perhaps even other murderers eager to lay their crimes at the real Zodiac’s doorstep. L.A. Times, 1969

If one, in Ancestry.com, search in "keywords" for "Ford Zodiac" in California, several "Ford Zodiac" cars is to be found for sale in the "Newspapers & Publications" section in the SF bay area from the late 1950’s to the late 1970’s

Urgh, you have to pay to become a member of the site and to be able to search. Could you just please post one picture of one of this publications?
