Mum and Dad always had Holdens (except one mistake when they had a Sigma in the 80's).
One of my brother had an XD SPack falcon ute he bought new and I have a soft spot for them.....very small soft spot.
My other brother had a rhone green wb kingswood which is what got me completely hooked on Holden commercials.
But what really got me hooked on Holden was Peter Brock racing them and hotting them up with no one eyed loyalty to the commodore. Building Magnums based on the earlier series cars really made the Brock cars special to me. The only Brock commodore I really like is the Blue VK group A. I dont want to own one though. Not my my thing, too many doors.
I like some of the earlier race specials from Holden like the S4 EH. Maybe only because they would have to be one of the rarest ones and no one ever talks about them.
The only modern Holden I lust after is a HSV Maloo. To me they are the new Sandman and I know people say they are not due to HSV building them but until Holden build one then Maloo is the ultimate Holden commercial. That after all was what the Sandman was in the day regardless of which option of kingswood/base it was built from. People mostly buy cars like that because they are the sportiest in the range. The Maloo is sportiest and has the most horn value by far.
I am a loyal Holden man but the only cars I buy now are Toyota four wheel drives. Makes sense hey.... not.
