Australia’s oldest motoring mag, Wheels, has celebrated its 60th anniversary by naming the best Australian cars of all time – with Holden’s VE Commodore topping the charts.
Cited by Wheels editor Stephen Corby as “a step ahead, in terms of quality and design”, the VE Commodore was the only car in the final shortlist to get unanimous approval from the Wheels judging panel.
“It was always going to be a strong contender,” says Corby, “but in the end it was the only car that every judge voted for.
“It proves that Australia is making the best cars it has ever made, right now. And it’s exciting to think that an even better Commodore [the forthcoming VF] is just around the corner.”
A total of four Holdens made the magazine’s Top 10; the others being the VY Monaro, the HQ and Australia’s first homegrown car, the 48/215, launched in 1948.
