Manufacturer description

Vauxhall were certainly influenced by the extravagant American cars when they designed and introduced the Cresta in the 1950s with its long lines, tail fins and sporty feel. It makes its latest outing registered 944 LNK in a more sober colour scheme than usual - maroon and white - but makes up for it with the wealth of chromework and whitewall tyres.
