All Just bought an artwork at a shop closing down sale. Its one of those framed artworks. This one is a Sepia HT depicting a Brougham in large and a Premier above it, plus side views of van, ute and wagon. But there are a few glaring errors: HT Brougham with a 5-litre badge; Engines listed, but 186LC and 350 auto missing; Brougham and Premier appear to be sporting HK rear doors and quarters? Does the HT Brougham have the fake grille below the front bar or is this HG? This one has it anyway. Great looking artwork anyway, and I bought it as it was cheap. Just thought that a Holden endorsed product wuld be close to correct anyway. Just checked before I posted, and I think I found out why. Here's the one I bought: http://stompshop.com/ind...h=26_35&products_id=1095And here's the HK one: http://stompshop.com/ind...h=26_35&products_id=1099_______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords? |

More errors.....
The Holden-produced poster of 1998 featuring all the models (50th aniversary, the Holden story) actually has an HD pictured and says its an HR! Easy mistake, but youd think they should know.........
Same as the "Kryptyx" collector cards |

The Holden poster featuring all the SS models from earliest to vz (i think) has the SS hatchback before the HQ ss (a bit out of order)

Most of Holdens artwork, brochures, advertisements and posters etc are done by outside agencies and their knowledge is probably limited to what they are told or think is correct.They submit it to GM for approval and often it is not checked by people with
