Prompted by the fuel crisis of the 1970s, Holden opted to downsize to the more compact Commodore. Arch rival Ford took a gamble by remaining dedicated to the big family car, but with a determination to make the Falcon more efficient. The XD, with an all-new body shape, was smaller than the previous XC, but offered the same interior space. It was also lighter, quicker and more economical. The XD became an instant success and laid the foundation for Falcon’s soon to be number one position in the Australian market. Trax has recaptured the early XD Falcons which feature the engine capacity badge on the front fender. (From July 1980 the XD sixes were fitted with alloy heads and carried alloy head badges, regardless of the engine size.) These brand new XD Sedans are beautifully finished in the ever-so-seventies colours of Burnt Orange and Oxford Blue. First time releases are always highly sought after, so order both now, while stocks last.
