Holden Monaro 40th Anniversary

Do you know this woman? 3AW's Ross and John are hoping to find the woman (Cathy Wood) pictured in this photo on the eve of 40 years since the launch of the Holden Monaro. The iconic photo was part of a poster which helped launch the Holden Monaro in Australia with the message "Out to drive you wild".



The 40th anniversary of the first major race win by a Holden Monaro will be celebrated in style at the VACC Historic Sandown race meeting on November 8-9, 2008.

Appropriately, around 40 Monaros of all models are expected to be on track or on display at the meeting to mark the historic victory at Sandown on September 15, 1968 of the then-new HK Monaro GTS 327 in the Datsun 3 Hour production car race.

The Holden Monaro Club is also holding several events to remember the launch 40 years ago.
