Retro Wheels Dot Cool

Classic cars, rare old cars, and just damn right cool cars

Two wheels? Four Wheels? Sixteen? This site is for them all. We love classic cars. Immaculate restorations? sure.. but the essence of a machine is worn into it's finish, it's missing or replaced parts.. patina. We like perfect.. but we also like soul. There is something special about classic cars: about their curves, their highly unique (but less-than aerodynamic) body styles, and the comforting rumble and aroma emitted by a 20th Century engine. Do you own a vintage auto? Or perhaps you just love the retro style of yesteryear. Welcome to retrowheels.cool!

This is the Vauxhall Cresta PA - manufactured between 1957 and 1962 with 81,841 made. And what a cool car! Perhaps it doesn't look British: the tail-fins, and wrap-around windows are totally American - but it was actually built in Luton, England. Two tone Maroon/Grey finish, with leather seats. "Cresta - the most luxurious Vauxhall" as early promotional material states. Looks pretty good inside too. This one was registered in April 1961. 2651cc ohv I6 engine.

What a great car! Immediately after World War Two, there was a serious lack in cheap and reliable vehicles. The Ford Popular aimed to fill this gap, and when launched in 1953 was Britain's cheapest car. The name 'Popular' had previously been applied to the 1930s Ford model Y, and there is some visual similarity between these models. Production of the Ford Popular 103E lasted until 1959, when it was replaced by the more modernistic looking Popular 100E.
