Of Myth and Legends
Every classic car has some kind of story behind it, whether it is fact or fiction it doesn't seem to matter these days. These myths are what turn ordinary cars into legends. Here we will sort out the legend from myth, the truth from fiction about the Holden Sandman.
Many of these myths that surround the Sandman come from a lack of knowledge of the model and the passing on of this misinformation over the years. Some of these myths have been around so long that it can take some convincing that they are not true.
