Meet the 1953-’55 Glamour: Sunbeam Alpine Sports

Manufactured by Sunbeam-Talbot Ltd. The two-seater was a dream come true and made a lasting impression as a real diva queen on the street. The ‘60s Alpine was a bodied convertible oozing modern refinement.

Sunbeam is pure glamourous looking, but it also has this racy-fitness that features a long, louvered bonnet, slender windscreen pillars, and a low beltline and flowing rear deck.  With the roll-up side windows, removable chrome-framed sliding side-screens.

The large half-moon speedometer, plus smaller fuel, oil, temperature, and amperage gauges along with the round tachometer resided below the center dash were true help to drivers. Even back then the cars included a heater and radio.

This car initially had the price of $2,899 (almost $28,115 these days).
