Triumph 10 sedan and wagon.
This was a pretty good little car.
It was a Triumph 10. That was official. T-10 and TR-10 were abbreviations used
by dealers, customers and, sometimes, by Standard-Triumph employees.
The last year for it here was 1960. We launched the Herald that year but
carried over the 10 wagon only for a year as a 1960 model. The 1960 wagon had
the Standard Pennant front end fender and grille mods but not the Pennant
interior changes.
Last time I saw a Triumph 10 wagon, it was the body only mounted on some
monster 4WD truck chassis, rolling down a freeway around San Jose about ten
years ago.

I believe it was a Standard 10 everywhere except North America where it was
branded a Triumph 10 because standard means something different in the US
than it does in The UK.
