Driving down my local interstate, yesterday, big rumbling from a car going by.. Naturally, a Challenger. That seemed to awaken every yokel in the vicinity. Some dark sedan to my right started revving. Very non-descript, and until they pulled forward and ahead of me, I didn't even notice. Seemed to have an aftermarket integrated hood scoop, and four pipes out the back. And, a circular logo on the trunk that I didn't recognize.
I had to go home and look it up. Any guesses on what car would be on the road in the US, with a logo from another country that I had never seen?

A Holden?

Yes, the logo was Holden, but I'm guessing it was a modified Chevy SS.

They were both rebadge Holden sedans. And changing emblems does seem popular. And apparently there is a legal way to import and register the Holden Ute.

One of the YouTube people I follow recently did a segment on a Holden Ute with someone in the US that has a bunch of them. That’s where they explained the loophole. IIRC (a big if these days with scrambled brains) they were somehow federalized because of the GM models (just never imported) so they were able to ring the

I’m sure known here but not mentioned—a number of police forces, including where I live now, used those Holdens which were badged as “Caprice”.

The two fender humps really keep you focused forward.
Yes, those are making them into civilian hands en masse and are common candidates to Holden conversions
I do get, of course, that Holden is the actual designer and manufacturer, so there's that.
I enjoyed seeing those cars with bowties and especially "CAPRICE" nameplates, LOL.
Without the vinyl top and multiple Cadillac crests, they may have pulled it off, but no.

The last of the Mercury Colony Parks
Really surprised both hidden headlights are down and not winking.

Yep, my 79 Continental as well. They wouldn’t stay closed for more than an hour or two after the engine was off.

I stand corrected. I had thought they dropped the woodgrain abd name for the Panthers.
I stopped and took a look. It really is large. Backseat was folded down. Probably an 8 foot bed. The hood was like a dining room table. A good yard of overhang behind the back axle.
Different time
Was mostly in good shape. Little rust down in the corners. Front seat was not ripped.
The hidden headlight doors were vacuum operated and will stay closed unless there is a vacuum leak, which over time there inevitably is. They are spring-loaded as a safety feature to default to open, and the vacuum holds them closed.
