Triumph Ten Companion in the USA. Actually a Standard Ten Companion, 1955-60. |

+1 On the Buick. I'd say small wagon in front is a Standard 10 Companion. It has the side hinged rear door,(hinged on other side for U.S.). Also has two-tone paint scheme around all windows. [Edit]I didn't see above reply at the time of posting. Gee I thought I was a champion car spotter for a little while there,(having never seen a Companion before!)A bit more research today has made it clearer to why they're badged triumphs in North America. -- Last edit: 2011-07-21 07:53:44 |

Hopefully someone picks up on this page and sets up a page for the Triumph. I am sure it would have been a rarity in the US. Another less common car would be the blue Nash sedan, parked on the right side of the road behind the VW Beetle. Re the Buick it is hard to say for sure but I think it is more likely to be a Super sedan (Model 51). -- Last edit: 2011-07-20 10:24:59 |

I have just found my long lost copy of The Imported Car Spotters Guide (Tad Burness 1979) and in there the Triumph is listed from advertising material as a model TR-10 and was available from 1958-60 at $1699 for the sedan and $1899 for the Estate Wagon. Interestingly the advertising picture in the book shows the wagon rear door as being hinged at the right side, but maybe that is from the English brochure(?). The car in the pic above looks to have the hinges on the left and handle on the right. Looking through the list of Triumph cars we don't seem to have any 10s or Tens or TR-10s so this one is a first. -- Last edit: 2011-07-20 11:51:59 |

See /vehicles.php?make=Triumph&model=Estate+Wagon&modelMatch=1&modelInclModel=on for 3 of these. Agree worth a page. |
