[1] It was the smallest of several relatively streamlined cars with which the company, in common with several UK mass market competitors, broadened and updated its range in the later 1930s.

A minor facelift in time for the 1937 London Motor Show (and the 1938 model year) involved a change to the radiator grill which, while still rearward leaning, now became more curvilinear in what was called the Waterfall style.

As with the DeLuxe, the Popular also forewent a clock, dome light, and sun visor, and was fitted with black plated headlights rather than the Super Saloon's chromed units.

By this time the car had been joined in the company's line-up by the similarly bodied but smaller engined and considerably faster selling Standard Eight.
