What are the next collectables? What should we keeping?

WB did plummet in value from mid 90's until now really. I see they are starting climb in value again. See some asking 10k bit there are never any good original ones for sale. People can't even tell the difference between a Kingswood and a standard ute anymore.
There is no way you can count all commodore based platform cars I. One sales group. It would not make any difference if you could anyway. They have still sold the same amount of cars. They would still get beaten as other companies would do the same thing. Toyota could count all their different Landcruisers in one group. I guess they would out number total Commodore sales by a bit.
HSV was hardly going to revive the Sandman name instead of the Maloo name. Sandmans were not really desirable in 1990 were they. Maybe now the name would generate some interest.
The majority of people on this forum are not going to have any connection to HSV as they were developed for a different generation. I like the VG Maloo because it came at a time when Holden had abandoned a generation of young people who wanted a stand out performance ute. Remember up till then my generation had only a choice of second hand 70's designed models from Holden. The Maloo was what most young people wanted, not something that their Dads drove around in.

Not so.

There are basically only 3 types of Landcruisers sold concurrently, the large (150 Series), Prado (120 Series) & Troopies (70 Series). I believe vFacts count Prados separately from the other 2 & then 150 & 70 all in one figure. This includes LWB, SWB, 2-doors, 4-doors, utes, wagons, everything.

If they can do it, why can't Commodore.

If you put all Commodores together in Feb sales figures for example, Commodores would be somewhere near 3,800+ region.

I doubt very much that all Landcruisers combined would exceed 1,000 units for the same month.

Can somebody find those figures.
