    Here's one a few may remember.....Rory the Lion!

    Anyone remember this cool cat?

    This is the template and colour palette used by Dealers to have hand painted on the dealership windows to promote the sandman. Times were definately groove back then.

    Sure would.....but theres a bunch more gold i'll post in the coming months......hoping to put them all together in one unit.

    Havent considered posters....not a bad idea.

    Cant see there being copyright issues. It's highly unlikely Holden have these. Theyve been found in various places like state libraries, private collections etc etc

    Absolute pleasure folks

    Looking at the HZ sheet metal sheet.....i'm curious if anyone can decipher the 3rd column of Area Design Affected....
    GMH - General Motors Holden
    GMSA - General Motors South Africa
    GMNZ - General Motors New Zealand
    Vaux - Vauxhall
    GMK - ??
    GMT - ??
    GMM - ??
    GMP - ??

    Also interesting of note is the use of the term of 'Dual headlights'. i remember Byron would use the term Quad headlights....seemed to ruffle a few feathers. Same could be said for the front 'Air Dam'...where some folks would call it a Front Spoiler. Guess it clears it up coming straight from the Generals mouth.


    Anyone have any clues as to whom the signatures belong to?
