Much like how VNs like to jump around for no discernable reason whatsoever on a country road!

Hmm let's see... here's Holden's model naming "logic"

48-215, FJ, FE, FC, FB, EK, EJ, EH, HD, HR, HK, HT, HG, HQ, HJ, HX, HZ... All that just to throw people off the scent for what the next model name would be! I spose photoshop wasn't available back then so the motoring magazines had to make do with big guess letters on the front page to say "scooped! New Holden Model for 1959!"

"FB" (artists impression only)

I spose the public were more excitable back then!

It was built for Edsel Ford II, for when he came out here. It was an EBII I think, full bodykit, 16in wheels, V8.

It doesn't really count as a car, but this is my EL Falcon.

That old list was crazy. EB XR8's a "special"? I think not. El ghia v8's, there were less of them made then the eb xr8's. You could go on and on. Leave the list to the actual "Special Cars"

I thought the EB Cobra did eventually get sold to the public, could of sworn someone at the old Fordforums owned it, or knew someone who did.
