For seventy year, Holden built cars in Australia, for Australia as part of General Motors global empire. Since 1978, this was the Holden Commodore, originally launched as an 'Intermediate' sized car.
In October 2017, production in Australia ceased. Australia lost 'Australia's own'. Lost RWD, lost V8s.
There is a new Commodore, the ZB. Built in Germany by former GM division Opel, now part of PSA. The car uses a Turbo four-cylinder or naturally aspirated V6, along with either FWD or all-wheel-drive.
Underdog.
This is the name you give to a competitor who has a lot of things going against them.
This is the new Commodore. To say that it is struggling would be fair - the model now sells approximately 600 units per month whereas the final year of RWD Commodore (the VFII), the car sold approximately 3,000 units per month, placing it close to the top of the Australian sales ranking.
Is it a bad car? - No. But nobody cares anymore.
This miniland-scale ZB Holden Commodore has been created for Flickr LUGNuts 11th anniversary to the 10th build challenge theme, - "Sympathy for the Underdog", - for 'underdogs'.

The trawler Commodore in drydock in Ballard at the Pacific Fishermen shipyard. The patches on the hull and designs and colours on the fence attracted me, as well as the way she dominates everything around her. Couldn't quite get the intensity of those patches with watercolour, maybe better done with opaque medium, gouache or oils—or oil pastel.
The Commodore Mine complex of four mine buildings above Creede was served by the railroad. In April 1891, the Commodore claim was staked by John C. Mackenzie. The mine consists of 5 levels with almost 200 miles of tunnels and underground workings lying within the mine. The photo shows portals and support buildings to the left of the ore house and chutes. The Commodore is the southern most mine lying on the Amethyst Vein and was last mined in 1976, a span of nearly 85 years of production.
In 1984, I convinced my parents that they should spend far more money than they were comfortable with, and get me a Commodore 64. The trick worked, and I've been an addict ever since.
My mom snapped this Polaroid to commemorate the occasion.
Could this be a Holden Commodore SS spotted in the states? It had the Holden emblems on the front grill and on the rims. I didn't see any Chevy emblems which would make this a Chevy SS.

For a very short period, this was the best selling CD-based video game console....

One of my hobbies is collecting retro-computers, focusing on computers made by Atari. I have currently have eleven different Atari-models, three from Commodore and one other model in my collection.
The first computer I ever had was a Commodore VIC 20 that me and my brother got for Christmas in 1982. We got it with some books and some magazines, but no games and no cassette drive at first. So all we could do was type in the game examples from the books, try the game, and loose it all when we turned it off. On top of that it broke after about three days (some hardware error, not our fault), so we had to send it in for repairs. Probably took a month or so before we got it back.
Since we got no software with it, just the book with games and the magazines me and my brother took turn to type in the games that were listed. That way I learned both to type and the basics of BASIC. Didn't take very long before I made my own games for it. One was even so big that it filled up the entire 3K of available RAM....
when the green lit it made this amazing buzzing sound (which probably has to do with the dim portion of the sign)
you may remember this.
Other than Rod K., my heroes of cool have got to be these guys. I can never look this awesome, even if I was standing behind a glowing cross and walls of Marshall amps.
Note: Some of you may know my misery regarding when Justice first came to Vancouver. I brought my wide angle lens and was denied by security because I had a "professional camera" (oh please). So tonight I brought my stalker lens and had a rematch with Justice hitting up the Commodore Ballroom. Sweet.
Old cinema opened 1930, closed 1968. Since then it's been a bingo hall, car showrooms and undertakers, it's now a storage facility.
A very late PET from 1982, the year Commodore discontinued the PET line.
It's a 4032, with 32kilobytes of RAM, and a 9" monitor.
Visible to the right is a CBM 2040 disk drive, each disk could hold up to 170k!
How far we've come. I'm looking for the IE-488 cable needed to connect the drives to the computer, anybody got one hanging around?
