The Wolseley name dates back to the early days of the automobile. In fact, this English automaker's first car was a three-wheeler built in 1896. Some of Wolseley's finest achievements came between the World Wars when the company was known for private passenger vehicles of excepyional quality and dependability. One of the most popular was the sturdy and reliable Hornet. Easily recognized with its illuminated badge and handsome grille, the Hornet was the perfect marriage between a potent power train and the traditional style and luxury of the classic old marques. In 1962, this unusually handsome economy car featured wood veneer fascias, two-tone paint schemes and concealed door hinges - those elegant touches that seperated the Wolseley from all the rest.
