Entering production in 1951 as the second of three XK120 models, the XK120 Fixed Head Coupe boasted perhaps the highest level of practicality out of the three. The addition of a hard top not only protected its occupants from the weather, but it also added even more voluptuous curves to the shape of the automobile’s body. The fixed head coupe was aimed squarely at the American export market, and it attempted to sway even more Americans towards buying a car from across the pond. The added usefulness of this body style meant that it could be purchased as a daily driver or as an automobile to enjoy for the weekend and special occasions.

XK 120
Jaguar released a sports car model in 1948, called XK120, that was actually the British company’s first post-war sports model. The XK120’s predecessor model was the Jaguar SS100. This XK120 was the fastest production car in the world at that time. Production lasted for just about six years, as Jaguar took this model out of the market in 1954. more
