At least they weren't like Holden's afterthought-ish effort, the Brougham, which was a Premier with a longer tail tacked on with no difference in wheel base. Holden must have thought power windows option would fool them. A sign of contempt for the buying public. Ford showed professionalism and Holden obviously knew they couldn't continue that folly with their upcoming ultra modern HQ based bodies. It's a shame they got a former head of Cadillac to head HQ development. It took the wizard from Germany the much revered Peter Hannenberger to fix the disastrous dynamics of the pillow soft riding cars.
I could have bought the green Brougham used in the film Dirty Deeds. It was in a front yard with $5000 in the window.





Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
