The original oval badge used on the model A but was dropped in the 50's
The one we see today started in 76 hence the XC
G'day Brevsta and all..Awesome , thanks....There's been a few variations of the Blue Oval it seems as you've shown..A local 1949 Australian build Ford Anglia has a red background..
The Chevvy badges too change as shown.. That's a topic and daresay a hobby (car badge collecting) in itself..
I reckon the worst Mustang of all time was the severely downsized 1976 model and a local chap had one..Shameful it was..All he did was spend money on it.
I traveled in it one time . It had a lousy conversion , it rattled and squeaked all over....Ugh..Ken's example of this ugly stick was white with a vinyl roof and a Ghia I think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzhtHx0p-dM The infamous Pinto was in this era too ..And people reckon the AU Falcon was ugly.. Go figure that after looking at these sort of pony cars.. The Cobra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzHIGNdcVYs and the a year or two later 'our' Cobra..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnoYCXmvYNY . Listen to the commentary as it is shown at a U.S. car show a few decades on..NOT UGLY...
Somehow it looks like the 'bar of soap' Camaro as described in the video will be more likely in OZ..
Interesting point about the Holden name..Never thought about that before.. At least Ford is Ford is Ford wherever you go but with GM , there's Opel , Vauxhall , Daewoo etc..and Holden for now..Once Holden actually finishes manufacturing it may just as well be Chevrolet for all intents and purposes..
Good point guys... Cheers Rod..
