Just found my pics of this creation, after seeing similar on Gasolene th other night with the presenter at SEMA , it needs some recognition.
Some may remember it from the eighties. I think I recall seeing Falcon suspension both front sides ??

I think it was an exercise to demonstrate the similarities of the two models shape & dimensions. reminds a mate of a waiter/ess they had one night, only looked at them side on each time - nice young fella one side, nice young girl the other . Falcon underneath apparently

Yes, I was going say same thing - noted how similar they are, just goes to show long they have been at it & still doing so today ...

P.S. - Does anyone know what happened to this fine example ?

Me too! It's like a bastard son that either family doesn't want!

Seriously, who could be bothered?? And what next, a Proton and a mid ninety's mitsubishi??

Maybe an old guy with skills showing a few whipper snappers what coachbuilding is all about

Well they seem to have done it well.

I wonder what the rego authorities had to say about it's description. Imagine reporting a robbery or something with two witnesses from either side of the vehicle - conflicting reports would keep the police busy!

well with my experience with cars, the ford has electrical issues and the holden has mechanical issues, donno why anyone would put that combo together hahaha

but i do admit that its an intresting car to look at

imagine the initial crash test- could it literally split in two?

or sport a bumper sticker "rather push my Holcon than drive a Falden"
