This car was the Australian Luxury car, equivalent to a Lincoln Town Car, Large Cadillac, Large Mercedes or 7 Series BMW. (but it's less than 1/2 the price of the European cars and more reliable). It's the stretched RWD Luxury sedan you buy when you want to say "I have arrived" I Have "Money". it came in several trim levels, Statesman, Caprice and Grange (Grange being the most luxurious sports version). it always had the large rear seat area and large trunk. the interior was simply modified for Police Use in the USA. So with the Australian $$ being so cheap compared to the US dollar, you can import the Luxury interiors from wrecked cars and fit them. There are also thousands of them in Saudi Arabia as the Holden Commodore's and the Statesman's were built LHD and exported there as Chevy's since 1999.
