The PB generation Cresta entirely restyled, the new design dispensed with the tailfins and overall extravagant style of its predecessor, with a flat bonnet and a more conservative appearance taking clues from the contemporary Victor FB introduced the previous year. The engine was the same 2,651 cc (162 cu in) straight six as the last of the PA series though the compression was raised power output remained at 95bhp. Front disc brakes were introduced as standard. From October 1964 the facelift version was introduced the engine was increased in capacity to 3293 cc and output increased to 115bhp, the exterior was refreshed with a new full width chrome front grille, incorporating the headlights and there was a full-length chrome strip along the body sides. The gearbox was still three-speed with column change but an overdrive was available. As standard, the 3.3-litre cars had a three-speed column-change gearbox, with a four-speed floor-change unit as an option. Three-speed hydramatic automatic transmission was available with both engines but this was changed to the two-speed Powerglide unit towards the end of the 3.3-litre PB run.
