I never knew about the Isuzu Deville. Pretty cool thing to find out about, thanks for that Byron.
Wikipedia says 246 were sold in Japan, so not huge exports, but it shows GMH did try more extensively than I realised to export to Japan in the early 70's.
It seems the Izusu was sold in Japan as Izusu Deville "by GMH". Not sure what I think of the seat trim material, Its pretty wild, I wonder if theres any at any wreckers in Japan... um.. do they have auto wreckers in Japan?

The same website quotes 799 Mazda Roadpacers sold (scrolling down the discussion page).
So thats 945 units exported to Japan by Holden in the early mid 70's. Not too bad imagining the competition for the luxury car market in Japan?
