Ian Wood's Mexican-themed EH Holden panel van is one spicy enchilada
AS YOU can imagine, it was pretty hard to miss Ian Wood’s bright orange EH panel van in the unveiling hall at Meguiar’s MotorEx earlier this year.

The coupe was definitely the first preference for John, too. "Okay, I’m going to buy a two-door – ‘Nup, you’re not buying a two-door, because you can’t use the back seats,’" came the stern reply.

There's no questioning Vicky Williams’s devotion to the mighty Blue Oval. Introduced to the world of cars by her late dad, she began her Ford-owning journey with an XT Falcon 500. A few more Coke-bottle Falcons ensued, including an XW she sold to cover her first home deposit. [More]
"They don’t make ’em like they used to." Think back to 1969 and it was an important year for both Holden and the image-building Monaro range. The HT series represented a largely cosmetic update, aside from significant changes at the performance end of the range with the introduction of the 350-cube Chev V8.

Talk with Christian D’Angelo, and all of a sudden you find yourself agreeing that having two Ford Fairmont wagons, a 1973 XA with the 250-cube six and auto, plus a 1974 XB, makes all the sense in the world.
