This might be seen as too risky these days- Motor magazine 1974 I think.

Should we be worried about the build up of wheel ants ?......or is this a case of ''only in America'' ?

The girl munching a banana on the Firenza bonnet is more serious....very British, and very acceptable, even today. :D

At first glance Big Bertha looked a hell of a lot like a quad headlight Holden HZ GTS. It sure reminds me of Peter Geoghegan's Monaro sportsedan that also had a Repco Holden engine.

Thanks Tim. A nice pair of Big Berthas there.

The Motor Show in the 70s and early 80s had women draped on the cars and many were partially clothed. It was considered normal at the time.
