The Vauxhall Cresta was a British stab at American automobile style in an age when extravagant colour schemes, masses of chrome, white wall tyres and tail fins were the ‘must haves’ of the day for extrovert petrol heads. Our 1:76 scale model has appeared with all these attributes, so this time it is a more sober two-tone blue colour scheme for you to add to your late 1950s-early 1960s British classic car line-up.
Registered DSU 418, this stylish four-door motor looks good with its chrome edged wrap around windows, large chromed radiator grille and silver flash along its length, all reminiscent of an age of vehicle individuality.
