The Car
"The car is a Vauxhall Cresta (I
think it was a FX). It was my dads' car. He bought it
second hand about 1969. I had the car out for that day in
the Queen's Park / Arthur Seat and it is me standing by the car.
The car had six cylinders and a column change gears.
The photo was taken by my then
girlfriend who is now my wife. The camera was a Brownie 127."

Vauxhall Cresta PA
"Douglas' dad's Cresta is a PA model.
The thing I remember about them is that rearward curve on the
bottom corner of windscreen and its surrounding metalwork. When I
got in the front I invariably bashed my knee on it.
That six cylinder engine made a lovely
noise, though."
