The PA Cresta and Velox were introduced in 1957, a design which echoed American styling of the time, with wrap round windscreens, rear fins, and much chrome. The Cresta was the slightly more luxurious of the two.
The car shown car dates from 1960, first registered in Cardiff, and is greatly enhanced by the optional two-time paint and whitewall tyres.
I have liked PAs for many years as I can remember drawing one in a petrol station scene early in my childhood. The picture survives to this day, also including a Ford Anglia, and is shown on the ‘about me’ page.
