62 Chevy
"Boom Boom" was both an American R&B and pop chart success in 1962 and a UK top-twenty hit in 1992. Also a North American hit version by the Animals in 65.

@karl Interesting. Would this have been for general sale, or promotion / sale through Esso stations?

@frank Great track and very nice Chevy. The '62 with its alloy rear panel and inserted circular lights is - I think - my favourite ever Chevrolet.

@charles-rockett They also had an open top version in white; I think they were just general issues from Corgi.

@frank For a short while my dad had one of these exactly as your model - 62-66 Ford Consul Cortina - in deep navy. I have fond memories of it.

One more Volvo for the road Frank, in glorious red. I taught a shipmate from New York City to drive a red one in 1968. He couldn't help but buy it, had always taken cabs or buses in the city with no need for a car, and then this beauty swept him off his feet. Don't remember what he played on the radio though. Bookmarked this thread too. Thanks.
A different view.

I loved that MK.I Cortina back in the day; especially in Lotus form. I have a few in my model collection.

@karl Unusual to see that decal on the coupe version of the Elan. Most were on the metallic blue open one.

1962 Facel Vega
The American Folk Blues Festival was a music festival that toured Europe as an annual event for several years beginning in 1962.

Produced by Buddy Holly, with Buddy on lead, King Curtis on sax'; Waylon Jenning's Jole Blon was not issued until after the tragic plane crash when "the music died" so I feel justified in posting it with the present Western Models' 1960 (big-arsed) Ninety-Eight Olds'.

And here's your Lotus Cortina along with the Squire and a stock saloon. This Lotus version was a personal creation.
