'55 Vauxhall Velox

Well I tried to post this up in the appropriate section, "British Marques", but the board says I cannot start a new topic there (?)

 

I guess I'm on restriction.

 

But here's a familiar little car... it resembles a shrunken early 50's Chevrolet, the Vauxhall Velox!

Pretty nifty, esp the tails.

The styling belays it's small stature : only 172" overall length.

Here's a '53 Wyvern, although I can't understand a damn thing they're saying........

Here's a 1947 Vauxhall 10, emerging from hibernation...  speaking of "10", it seems almost a decade behind American GM vehicles, style-wise.

It was an updated '30s car, so it was a decade behind. The 10 came out in '37.

The european brands always were a solid 10 years behind the American makes, thru the '60s at least.

IIRC, mercedes didn't bring out their fins until about 15 yrs after Cadillac debuted them.
