The Vauxhall Cresta was in production for a long period, 1954 to 1972, but the 1960 version, as shown here, the Vauxhall Cresta PA, was available 1957–1962. And it is a very cool car: from its Buick-style fins to its curved roof and two-tone paint job - this car simply exudes the USA. But it is British of course, built at Vauxhall's plant in Luton. This one was registered in December 1960 and must have been one of the first examples to be powered by the 2,651cc ohv I6 engine. A 1960 Vauxhall Cresta like this was used in the video for the song Ghost Town by the Specials.
