cheers for that , leo reckons that was a car he designed for max wilson's wife , hence the softer colour interior. he did a total of three cars for max which were predominately in brown tonings and as he described them 'basically a 2 door caprice '

yes the paint code is so close and the colour is remarkably similar to the LE monaros !

Hey might be able to help go to www.flickr.com and type in "torana" in the search box.There will be bucket loads of photos to look at but in pacticular you are looking for photos uploaded by a guy named peteraus53.When you find him browse thru his photoset and i am pretty sure he has photos on there from the melbourne motor show.give it a try you might get lucky or if not you might be able to contact him cheers

Found him..peteraus53...I am guessing thats when he was born so he was 19 at the time for the pics Larry is looking for in 1972...all his stuff is from the last 5 years.

Agree about the old Aquaplanes. However, the car in the second photo has crossply tyres on it. Which weren't much better.
