I would of said vauxhall viva hb and the victor fd had an earlier coke bottle design entry !

[@thecarchaeologists]

You are absolutely right! Was the Viva was about 69 model? It was a good looking car! I don’t know the Victor Fd I’m going to look it up! For the very earliest if I recall there was a Studebaker I think the avanti which was made designed by the man who invented the styling - Loewy if I spelt it right. Really rare car I think only maybe 1200 made. Thanks so much for the comment! I am off to look up the victor!!
