With its fins it was the coolest car by miles

british cars of that era tried to emulate the pizzazz and confidence shown by american car design of that era, but british cars were much smaller and of course our designers were hamstrung by the british sense of reticence and our reluctance to appear showy. (aka cheap)

those lovely evocative hillmans with their slanting proto fins and teardrop rear light clusters were i believe inspired by early 60s chevrolets.
