SUMMARY
Freshly repainted and looking gorgeous from any angle, this evocative, Luton-built slice of Americana is undoubtedly a style statement.
DESCRIPTION
- With the introduction of the PA series Cresta and Velox in October 1957, the American influence on Vauxhall styling was unmistakeable
- Plentiful chrome, garish colour schemes, wrap-around windscreens and fashionable tail fins were all featured on these top-of-the-range sixes
- Dating from 1962, this handsome example is an eyeful in two-tone Black over Grey
- Fitted with the straight-six, 2.6-litre, 96bhp power plant coupled to a 3-speed column change gearbox
- The subject of a three-month, bare-metal repaint with a video covering the whole process
- Recently treated to a (Club-supplied) new clutch, fuel filter, gearbox mounts and a full service
- In gleaming black and grey, with smart whitewalls and chrome wheel trims, in 1962 these two-tone Crestas were about as 'cool' as you could get
