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 first page shows the introduction, explaining the various embellishments available for the three models - some common to all three, others only available on the more expensive Velox or Cresta models, and the folding guide page. It shows the first of many colour vignette illustrations used throughout the booklet.
How stylish is this? One of the Triumph stable - this the Vitesse 6 model with the convertable roof no less and still looking very smart despite my mental connotations of this model really being a few miles south of here and with the late great Thora Hird dumped in the passenger seat!
By the time this car was constructed Triumphs, a company that had been merged with Standard Motors in 1944 having been formed in Coventry as a pedal bike company in 1885, was part of Leyland Motors - indeed possibly just about the time they merged with BMC in 1968 to form British Leyland. The Vitesse, launched in 1962, was based on the successful Herald model introduced in 1959 and both were styled by Giovanni Michelotti. This was seen parked up in Otley, West Yorkshire, on a fine September day and is obviously much loved and well cared for.

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.

It is fair to say the copywriters at CFH got quite carried away in their selling fo the new Humber Super Snipe in 1938. Humber was a Covenrty based concern whose origins, like many motor companies, were in bicycle manufacturing and indeed until 1932 when they sold that divison off to Raleigh, they made both cars and bikes. A few years earlier, via Hillman Motors, the Rootes Brothers had gained an interest in Humber whom they acquired effective control of in 1932. Rootes used Humber as the controlling parent for their many companies & brand marques but like many British automotive companies the 1960s proved troubled years and in 1967 they sold out to Chrysler who in turn divested the UK subsidiery to Peugeot/Renault.
The Super Snipe was certianly towards the top end of the Rootes stable and I think a version of it became popular as a military staff car during WW2 and later.

Here is an artistic project I made during the recent "Gentleman's Fair". I drew and painted this vintage car (an American Pacer) only with Posca markers during several days. The background and shape of the drawings, the colors and patterns I have represented are clearly inspired by the American Pop Art culture to echo the Gentleman's Fair spirit, which is aimed at cool, passionate, elegant or hipster men. The fair is about the following themes: travel, design, cars, motorcycles, fashion, games, accessories, toys for boys, audio, video, art, health, technology, gastronomy, sports, watchmaking ...
This art project was a challenge because I did not have much time to finalize it. Posca are markers of acrylic paint based on water and pigments. I wear a mask to protect myself from possible evaporation.
The Gentleman's Fair attracts more than 100 exhibitors and over 10,000 visitors. This is an event that occurs every year in Waregem, Flanders, Belgium.
You can also enjoy there a delicious glass of whiskey in front of the fire, challenge your friends to the pool or enjoy a delicious cigar. Active, curious, fashion conscious or family man? Freak gadget, sports, hipster or bon vivant? The Gentleman's Fair is for all men who are confident and passionate about life.

Voici un projet artistique que j'ai fait durant la "Gentleman's Fair". J'ai dessiné et peint cette voiture vintage (une Pacer américaine) uniquement avec des marqueurs et feutres Posca durant plusieurs jours. Le fond et la forme des dessins, les couleurs et les motifs que j'ai représentés sont clairement inspirés par la culture Pop Art américaine pour faire écho à La Gentleman's Fair qui s'adresse aux hommes cools, passionnés, élégants ou hipsters et qui porte sur les thématiques suivantes: voyages, design, voitures, motos, mode, jeux, accessoires, jouets pour garçons, audio, vidéo, art, santé, technologie, gastronomie, sports, horlogerie...
Ce projet artistique a été un challenge car je n'ai pas eu beaucoup de temps pour le finaliser. Les Posca sont des marqueurs de peinture acrylique à base d’eau et de pigments. Je porte un masque pour me protéger des évaporations éventuelles.
La Gentleman's Fair attire Plus de 100 exposants et 10.000 visiteurs. C'est un événement qui se produit chaque année à Waregem en Flandre, en Belgique.
Vous pourrez aussi déguster un délicieux verre de whisky devant le feu, défiez vos amis au billard ou dégustez un délicieux cigare. Actif, curieux, soucieux de la mode ou homme de famille? Freak gadget, sportif, hipster ou bon vivant? La Gentleman's Fair s'adresse à tous les hommes confiants et passionnés par la vie .

The cover design is relatively simple based on the V for Vauxhall.

Bill B's Restored 1946 Ford Super Deluxe Station Wagon (Woodie)
Photo taken by the owner with an Iphone, Photoshop CS4 and various Topaz Filters used to enhance the original image.
This '46 is Powered by a 239 cubic-inch Flat Head V-8 engine,100 horsepower and has a three-speed manual transmission . History note; Ford resumed automobile production in July, 1945, before the war in the Pacific ended. When converting to war production, Ford had retained a stock of wood parts at its Iron Mountain, Michigan facility, which it used for the 1946 station wagons. Ford and mercury were the last manufacturers to build 'woodies,' ending production in 1955. Since the war department forbade non-essential design work, the 1946 models were basically prewar designs with slight updates. Unique to 1946 was the red trim on the front grill. Due to parts being in short supply, some details did not always match. The 1948 Ford Woodie station wagon was the last of the all-wood bodied wagons.

Engine is no longer a 5.0 V10 because there's no point if it's also backed by electric motors. A 4.2 V8 is far more reasonable. All the same tech from the v1 will still be there, as mentioned in the fat write up on the original.
And improved suspension and diff details!
