These three sequential issues of Modern Motor represents an exciting time for the local industry. Second thoughts on the FB Holden, followed by the XK Falcon announcement and then the comparison between the two of them were heady times. As a young bloke barely out of short pants, I couldn't believe that any magazine would criticise a Holden; it was almost sacrosanct. A better product resulted in the EK, but 1960 must have woken GMH up for the first time. I loved the teaser lines on the covers, like What went wrong with the Redex?, Tubeless Tyres Here, I saw Bluebird crash!, Valiant to get V8 Engine!, Jaguar's Shock V-12 and Brabham Leads Again! - where has all that gone?
