Vauxhall Velox in Popular Culture
The car that Anthony Hopkins drove in the movie The World's Fastest Indian was a 1954 Velox. These were imported into New Zealand in large numbers up until the late 1960s, when Holden Belmont and Holden Torana cars started being imported from Australia.
In first series of Only Fools and Horses, episode 3 Cash and Curry, Del Boy boasts of owning a Vauxhall Velox, with Rodney being forced to act as his driver. He sells the car in order to raise £2,000 to pay off a debt to an Indian businessman.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Heroes are created by popular demand, sometimes out of the scantiest materials, or none at all.”
—Gerald W. Johnson (1890–1980)
“The anorexic prefigures this culture in rather a poetic fashion by trying to keep it at bay. He refuses lack. He says: I lack nothing, therefore I shall not eat. With the overweight person, it is the opposite: he refuses fullness, repletion. He says, I lack everything, so I will eat anything at all. The anorexic staves off lack by emptiness, the overweight person staves off fullness by excess. Both are homeopathic final solutions, solutions by extermination.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
