Not a Sandman but a Concorde!

[Big Rob]

I grew up in a staunch Holden family, came home from the hospital in a FE (I think it was an FE, maybe an FC, but you get the idea...) and always had Holdens.

I have NEVER owned a Ford.

BUT....

I remember seeing that Concorde at the Sydney Motor Show in 1977 (I think it was '77) and it almost converted me.

My Father wouldn't have a bar of it of course, so it was a short love affair and I got back to Sandmans and XU-1's etc, but I will always remember seeing the Concorde in the flesh.

The sink was a bit of a joke though....... Ford.... What was I thinking??????!!!!!!

It sorta was mate!!!! Until Dad found out. It was a bit of a similar thing when the Charger 1st hit the road and the "Hey Charger" adds were all over the TV. Every kid loved 'em, what with the cool shape and the loud colours.....

Dad wouldn't have a bar of them either.

You're right! This is sounding like the chicks at school I never got to go out with......
