 Agree Victor 101. Definitely Vauxhall wheel covers, also the bumper continuation on lower wing.

 There were no Vauxhalls in the Philippines, More likely Opel?

 Vauxhalls were indeed sold in the Philippines.

Quote Following World War II, Yutivo Corporation became the franchised assembler and distributor for General Motors in the Philippines. Assembly operations began in 1953 at a factory located in Penafrancia Extension, Paco, Manila. Yutivo assembled both cars and trucks and had a total production capacity of 18 trucks and 15 cars per day (2 shifts). The Yutivo operation stayed in the Yutivo family until 1976, when the facility was leased (and then sold) to GM and the Yutivo family left the day-to-day operations.
GM later moth-balled the factory, and, as best as we can reconstruct, eventually sold the facility to Isuzu Motors in 1994. The property on the which the Yutivo plant was located was sold by Yutivo Investments to Metro Bank circa 1995. During this same time frame, Isuzu re-located their vehicle assembly operations to another site, due to city zoning and by-laws. According to 1998 press reports, GM is now considering re-entering the Philippines with new manufacturing operations.

Yutivo Corporation car lines, at one time or another, included:

Chevrolet: Bel-Air 4Dr, Impala 4Dr, Malibu 2Dr/4Dr, Camaro
Buick: Electra 225 and Pontiac Parisienne 4 Dr. (Canadian version
of the Pontiac Bonneville)
Vauxhall: (GM UK) Victor, VX4/90, Viva 2Dr/4Dr
Opel: (GM Germany) Rekord 2Dr/4Dr, Rekord Wagon 5Dr, Ascona 4Dr,
Manta 2Dr, Kadett 2Dr/4Dr
Holden: (GM Australia) Model EH-4Dr, Wagon 5Dr, Premier 4Dr
Truck lines covered the full range of Chevrolet and Bedford trucks (pick-ups, chassis-cab, chassis-cowl, school bus and tractor models).
