absolutely fascinating! the style cues are distinct yet somehow still you can see GM's influence.That Torana is a really nice looking ride, and i notice the engines appear to be specific to Australia.thanks so much , guys!

I went back and checked out FC_Holden's photo album , if you haven't seen it, it's worth the time to look at. You Holden guys will find the 1955 Chevrolet 210 or BelAir very similar to the 58's styling, the early 60s Holden looks similiar to the 61 or 62 Impalas , while the one in the post above is pretty distinctive and really doesn't resemble any US car. The closest on the headlights /grille work *might* be a 70 Chevelle. Some of these cars looked pretty much original. Is the climate there pretty kind to sheetmetal? The desert states here are probably the best from a rust point of view.
