MATCHBOX Restoration No 38b Vauxhall Victor 1963

This station wagon was a favourite choice for large families. With its spacious boot and powerful engine, this car became England's most exported vehicle of its time!
These cars were often seen in summer heading off towards the coast towing caravans, boats or camper trailers.
It became the annual holiday vehicle of choice for the cash strapped families of the 60s.

    My Grandfather had a Victor saloon in sky blue with the front bench seat. Fun fact about him is that he learnt to drive BEFORE there was a driving test and he had driven a steam lorry! During WW2 he once had the job as a home guard of guarding a big hole caused by a V1.

    Vauxhalls are not common in the US, but as a teen a buddy had two of them. The 1965 looked like somebody washed a 55 Chevy and it shrunk, the 67 was same deal but looked like a shrunken 57 Chevy. Cool little cars. Funny how he liked little cars... he was a huge guy.
