Not my point, Forg. I was merely saying that you rarely see a Commodore or Ford towing vans these days. But go back 15 or so years or so, right back to HR years and basically every family who had a van towed it with a Falcon or Commodore and up until Chryslers pulled out of Aust they too were used as tow vehicles.
Absolutely Commodores were popular basically every man and his dog owned a Falc or Commo back in the day. I grew up in a Holden Family. As you would know back in the day you were either a Holden man or Ford man.
Unfortunately the way things were our domestic market couldn't support car manufacturing on it's own as our population is too low.
Although having said that I wonder if Commodore sales might have increased a fair amount now that Ford's pulled out but we will never know. Unfortunately I think as other have said; the big knobs had decided the fate of Elizabeth many years before the plant actually closed.
