Vauxhall Cars 1945-1964 (Nostalgia Road)
Vauxhall Iron Works, originally marine engine manufacturers, was founded on the South bank of the River Thames in 1867. After facing difficulties at the end of the 19th century, the company began producing motor vehicles in 1903. This marked the beginning of its success, which grew rapidly when it moved to a new factory in Luton, Bedfordshire, in 1905.
In the two decades following World War II, as Britain rebuilt, Vauxhall produced some of its most iconic models. By introducing the L-Type, E-Type, PA-Type, HA Viva, FB Victor, and PC Cresta, Vauxhall became one of the world's most respected car manufacturers.
This book narrates Vauxhall's remarkable post-war years, covering models from the L-Type to the PC Cresta.
