This is where it'll be easiest to point out the tweaks that have been made
-The whole model has been raised by a plate, and the wheel-wells lowered to make the wings thicker. The original model was wayy too low and the wheels cut too much into the body, making it looks awkward.
-The whole nose as been tilted forward by a few degrees, and has had the general shaping brushed up.
-The rear is now a stud wider than the front. Once again, all of the rear end has been reworked, and the diffuser completely resigned.

A colourful brochure showing the approved accessories available for the 1955 range of Vauxhall family saloons - the Wyvern, Velox and Cresta cars. The three models were largely based on the same body, in line with parent coampny GM's policy at the time, with the Wyvern as the 4-cylinder version, the Velox the 6-cylinder and the Cresta as the higher specification version of the Velox. This accessories booklet seems to cover the various 'facelift' versions that had been introduced up to and including the 1955 style changes to the Cresta.
One of the most interesting things to note is that amongst all the items that you could consider 'embellishments,' such as sunvisors or chromium plated exhaust deflectors, are the numerous things that were considered extras that would become standard equipment such as heaters or screencleaners.
"The companionable Vauxhall radio" showing that even the aerial was an 'extra"! The gloved hand shows the brochure's attempt to denote the 'high status' motorist the company aspired to.
Many changes under the skin too! Not to mention the way it opens up has also changed. The doors now open normally, as does the front hatch.

Snow cruiser concept. It's white, it's shot on ice and has got unconventional looks so I decided to name it after a city in North Iceland- Husavik. Design is largely based on my previous build Tail_Hammer. I was really inspired to shoot some pics on the melting ice, only natural light used.
Suitably puffed up for the occassion of the Coronation of HM Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 is this advert, typical of many at the time that trumpeted the 'new Elizabethans' and harking back to the days of the Good Queen Bess. Against a backdrop of the Golden Hind, Drake's flagship, is the Jensen Interceptor, product of the West Bromwich, Staffordshire, concern of Jensen Motors.
The name of the company stems from 1934 when the Jensen brothers changed the name of an established coachworks company W J Smith. They had gained a reputation for bodying other car makers chassis and moved on to produce their own range of cars; this is for the Interceptor that was first produced in 1950 and was produced until 1957 when the famous 541 was introduced. Jensen's also bodied commercial vehicles, often under the badeg JNSN, as well as some quite advanced aluminium framed bodies for various concerns. They even bodied a handful of bus and coach chassis. The family sold out in 1959 although their sports cars continued to be built until the collapse of the company in the mid-170s. Several attempts to reintroduce the marque have been made.
An interesting brochure - issued to car dealers and showrooms to show the range of advertising and publicity material that was available to support the launch of the new Austin A40 and A50 range, the Austin Cambridge, that was launched on 28 September 1954. It describes the items that were automatically free-issued as well as other items that could be obtained and these include printing blocks that allowed dealers to place adverts directly in publications such as local newspapers or magazines.
The range includes the brochures that would have been given to prospective purchasers, nationally issued adverts from Austin themselves, posters, folders and cards along with window banners. I suspect one interesting item would be the 'styling booklet "GS5 into Cambridge" showing how the car was designed from concept to production - strictly one per dealer! There is a name on many of the blocks showing the illustrator of the new model but I cannot decipher it.
Away from the hype - 'This new Austin will sell - and sell - and sell" - the A40 was not a big seller with sales of only around 30,00 until it was withdrawn in 1957. The A50, with a larger engine, sold better with 115,000 being built until 1957.
The brochure's cover uses the BMC 'rosette', the logo of the British Motor Corporation that was the result of the 1952 marriage between long term rivals Austin of Birmingham amd Morris Motors of Oxford.

A brochure issued by Vauxhall Motors Ltd, a long term subsidiary of General Motors, for the range of accessories available for the 1957 versions of the Velox and Cresta cars. At the time GM had been limiting Vauxhall to three models largely sharing a similar platform although by 1957 annual updates were becoming the pattern and for this year new body styling was introduced for both models - the PA that heavily echoed US styling.
I suppose what is striking is just how much was not included in the basic models! That said many features in the list are 'standard' for the more upmarket Cresta but could be added to the Velox at the costs shown in the price list.
Even allowing for marketing hype - I have to wonder how many such stylishly dressed race goers were chauffeur driven to the course in a Cresta? The brochure cover features a Cresta with registration index mark SMJ 258.
From this angle, the most notable change is the wider rear end. Gives a much nicer look and helps plump up the rear arches for a more aggresive look. Also meant the easiest option for the spoiler was to split it into 2, which is kinda cool.
