Thanks for the reminder about the Corvair using Holden badges etc, FFalcon. I wrote a feature story in a previous edition Retroautos on the development of the Corvair. Here's the link:https://www.shannons.com.au/club/news/retroautos/retroautos-november-a-rear-engine-holden-did-the-corvair-help-elect-a-president/ I was able to source many photos of the Corvair prototypes from GM, including one where the Corvair's engine is inserted into the boot area of a Vauxhall Victor. Holden badges were used often by GM in Detroit as a convenient way to disguise many different projects, including a smaller version of the Corvair planned of the mid-1960s. Here's a picture of the Pontiac Polaris.
