It's time to talk old Holdens.

I rang Smiths Holden Geelong today, for a vt v6 radiator cap. They actually had one, gpc brand. Which is oem? $19.00.
Pick up tomorrow.

I think us old fellas who remember the Valiants (I still struggle to call them Chryslers) have wondered why Holden used their model letters, it not like they needed too.

Telling your mates, your misses has a VD Redline would have made for a lasting memory.

On another computer of mind, I have a picture of a compliance tag, VD Commodore.....

Still don't understand why they didn't name them that model.... :)

Although I appreciated the performance Valiants, they were heading in the P76 direction when I started in the trade with the Mitsubishi take over looming and Holden was the future and most popular enthusiast brand around our way.

Holden were always more popular where I grew up, Ford were liked by some, but that was more a Victorian thing, whereas Valiant tended to be favoured by Dago's.
