Default Re: Why so few old Falcons remaining compared to Commodores?

Much like the Falcon, early ones were very US-based Then less so by XA & even less so by XF. EA onwards doesn't have much US left in in them. AU onwards nothing left.

Also all Holden build figures include all overseas built units, because they were CKD packs. The packs were made here then exported & they knew the exact numbers.

It's funny how when we were younger, we never thought of the earlier Dunnydores as a real Aussie, just a tweeked Opels.
I think this, and the the fact they looked so much smaller than the HZ was why quite a few buyers went to the Falcon.

I can remember at the time all the advertising going on about the interior space being superior in the XD and not loosing space from the the previous XC.
