If anyone is interested in what ended up happening with the 12-model list, I settled on:

Forte
S2 Futura
Falcon S
S2 Fairmont 75th Anniversary
Falcon Classic
Futura wagon
Falcon XR6
S2 Falcon XR8
S2 Falcon XR8 Rebel
S2 Fairlane Sportsman
FTE T3 TS50
S2 Falcon XR8 Pursuit Ute 250

Here's the poster below, not a big seller unfortunately.

Is it possible to make one of a single TL50 (possibly in white) with all the info on it..?

If that is a Sportsman on the bottom row, its got the wrong wheels. And where can we buy this?

Doesn't the Sportsman have the same 17" 17-spoke wheels as Fairmont 75th and my Fairlane 75th? I parked my car next to one the other day, and it had those wheels.

I can't discuss selling them on here, I sell them through eBay.

Kris, would love to customise it but unfortunately I lost the Fairlane and FTE graphics source files I made and the backup disc was scratched. One day I may create them again as I will be doing Fairlane and LTD historical posters at some stage.

Thanks for that, Kris. I don't know how those Rebel wheels slipped through. I made this poster a couple of months ago. Today I launched my Leyland P76 poster!

I've updated the AU one:

Nope, they are similar, but slightly different in the spoke design, and they have a large centre cap. Like this

Oops, I forgot the plastic centre Ghia cap on the wheels! I removed mine years ago to make it look more sporty, hehe. I'll fix that up, and thanks.

fte50, please have a look around eBay. One of the AU Falcon model chart posters has been listed on there for the past week.

Default Re: What 12 models from the AU series best represent the range?

So 5 AU1's, 6 AUII's and 1 AU3?

Two XR8's and No Cab-Chassis?

No orange front blinkered fairmonts? Would have looked great on profile.

The AU1 S, AU1 Classic and AU1 Futura are so damn close in spec it's not funny, too. There were three times as many SR AUIII's sold than S-packs.

I think the AUII Futura's had orange side repeaters too.

Also AU1 front and rear bumpers finish higher than AUII/III

I mean hey, it's your poster and you can put on it whatever you like. It's a very nice poster. I had very much hoped to buy one, and i'm not quite sure whether it's just my opinion or a shared consensus, but I just feel like there's too much light on some areas and not enough on others.
I hope if this comes across as criticism at all, it comes across as the most constructive and helpful kind. I wouldn't even know where to start to create a graphic like this.

Affirmative!

Ignore the white scalps on our wagon, I did that



Well done of the poster Dauphin, I'd buy one but I need the money I got! Noticed the ute's missing tailights?

Would be awesome to get one with almost every AU model there was + different accessory variations...

Thanks for the feedback, Mr. Hardware. I will see what I can do about those things. I always welcome help on getting it accurate and appealing as much as possible.

Grinzy, the missing tail light on the ute was a bit silly of me! Thanks!
