@billsmith281 yeah Ford opened the plant there on Sydney rd/Hume hwy in 1959 till 2016. . In later years Ford made the Ford Territory I also worked there but left before Ford shut down lots of history and good memories there...
Ford and Holden were pretty much neck and neck. Fords were a roomier car but were a little thirstier but not as thirsty as the Valiants. Ford really started to outsell Holden when the Commodore came along. For a while people purchased Commodores for the interest value but the Commodore had a smaller interior space than the Kingswood. Although the styling of the boxy XE was unpopular they were a lot roomier interior wise than the shoebox Commodore. The Chrysler was a more expensive option and was very thirstier in comparison to the Ford and Kingswood. All of the big three offerings were basic cars. The Japanese cars, especially Toyota were far better engineered and offered better long term value, but over the decades the big three had built tribal loyalties and it was the tribe that kept these dinosaurs along with government subsidies that kept them manufacturing in Australia as long as they did.
Falcon always had the edge over Kingswood and Commodore in width. Six adults comfortably.
100% :D
