1950–1953 Standard Vanguard Phase I Estate.
The Standard Vanguard is a car which was produced by the Standard Motor Company in Coventry, England from 1947 to 1963. It was Standard's first post-Second World War car and intended for export around the world. It was also the first model to carry the new Standard badge, which was a heavily stylised representation of the wings of a griffin. An estate car joined the range in 1950 initially for Belgium only. The body was updated in 1952 (Phase 1A) with a lowered bonnet line, a wider rear window and a new grille featuring a wide horizontal chrome bar in place of the narrow, more closely packed slats of the original grille that you see here with this car.
