    Issue 57 – 2006 Holden Commodore VZ SVZ/SSZ. This model is a key piece in a high-quality series of 1:43 scale Australian cars. The VZ arrived in August 2004 as the last of the third-generation Commodores, and Holden sent it off with a pair of sharp special editions: the SSZ of late 2005, limited to just 930 cars with 18-inch Monaro-style wheels, SSZ-badged leather and the 250 kW 5.7-litre Gen III V8, and the SVZ of March 2006, which dressed the Executive sedan and wagon in sports trim before the all-new VE took over. For the collector, this piece captures the silver body, rear wing and five-spoke alloys of the final VZ hero, and arrives with a magazine drawn from the Wheels archive.

Launched in December 1953 on the back of the FJ sedan's runaway success, the panel van kept the range's familiar toothy grille and round headlamps while trading rear seats for a full enclosed cargo bay. Power came from Holden's proven "Grey" six-cylinder engine, and across its run to 1956 the FJ series found around 170,000 homes nationwide, with the panel van doing hard-working duty for tradesmen and small businesses everywhere.
