As a kid surrounded by car freaks, I been a passenger in a variety of cars from about 1970 onwards. I wont know the proper names of all of them, but mostly American/aussie coupes, and various sedans. Cars that were just common transport then, can be highly sought after today. this obviously excludes any Bathurst models GT/XU1/RT/GTS etc. Being dropped off at school in any valiant back then was embarrassing, and I copped a ribbing many times….but now they are in ‘vogue’
aussie coupes Chargers 215 (three on the tree), to E38, 360Auto , XA 302 Landau, XC 302, Monaro 68 186, HJ Monaro 253. 68 monaro 307. Aussie sedans XB GT, XC 351, valiant 245 VG, valiant 245 VK, valiant 265 coupe, 74 LTD 351, XC silver monarch 351, 73? statesman 308, HD 173? Holden, VC Valiant 225 (3 on tree), LX 173 torana. American cars 65? Galaxie convertible, 73 convertible mustang, 69 cadillac eldorado, ‘tank’ fairlaine, rambler matador X, Lincoln continental mark 5?, 1950’s ford fairlane convertible (with roof that stores in boot), oldsmobile/buick invicta?, 64 thunderbird. Pontiac parrisiane, chev impala. The only 4 cyl car I was exposed to in 70’s was a Gemini coupe, an RS2000 and a mini moke. I wonder how many of those cars are REAL classics now, and how many are just remembered today, as they were back then…..just A to B transport. Its hard to imagine any of those cars being considered A to B today.
