I really like the Monaro very sharp looking car.

Did Holden have it's own styling studio or was that done by GM in the states?

I agree that looks like a Falcon. The US Falcons were decent cars but perhaps would have been more accurately called Ford Pigeons.

That bears a resemblance to the Opel Kadette (which was a pretty cool little car). Opel was for a long time German GM.
