The curved styling gives you much more room inside:
(circa 1965)
Lets take a look at the magnificent new Holden.
Note Holden’s styling,
its functional, trendsetting and years ahead because its curved. The curved styling
gives you much more room inside - more room than any car anywhere near the price.
Plenty of room in the boot too, as much luggage space as you'll ever need. And
you have the choice of Holden’s three
great engines for really spirited performance.
