| 2011 Holden VE II Commodore SSV |
Holden has much reason to celebrate the Commodore's 30-year milestone. Since launching as the VB Commodore on 25 October 1978 and replacing the venerable Kingswood, the humble Opel-derived sedan gradually won over the hearts and wallets of Australia's motoring public, and has scored the distinction of being Australia's top-selling passenger car for the past 12 years running.
With over 2.5 million Commodores being produced since production began, the Commodore's status as an Aussie institution is undisputable. It's also become a bit of a money-spinner for GMH too, with Chevy and Pontiac-badged Commodores being exported to the Middle East, England and the United States, confirming that the Australian-built and Australian-designed sedan is quite literally a world class vehicle.
Anyway, it wouldn't be a birthday party without a drunk aunty making embarrassing references to the birthday boy's youth, so in that spirit check out the following advertisement showing the original VB Commodore slaloming around its own name on the Westgate bridge:
