I really do not think it matters where they are built,it is all about the history & heritage from a motoring perspective in our country.Cheers

Yes,I noticed that rather "odd" & why a "FC" & not a 48/215? Cheers

I only really started disliking Holdens when they introduced Commodore. Up until then I had always equally liked both Ford & Holden (and Chrysler).
Our 1939 Willys Overland was built at the Woodville plant so I wonder if these get a mention. Must get an order in for one as well as the Ford one - It'll be good for the grandkids to read about them in the future.
