How to Turn a Commodore Executive Into a Commodore Vacationer

A Commodore "Executive" is the base model of Holden's popular passenger vehicle. A "Vacationer" is a "special edition" version of the Executive that sits below the mid-range "Berlina" in equipment levels and luxury. The Vacationer premium costs $3,500.00 however, by purchasing the Vacationer parts-bin accessories yourself, you can make your Executive look like a Vacationer - without the expense.

[edit] Steps

  1. Purchase a "Vacationer" decal pack for $29.95 from an authorised Holden dealer or third party reseller.
  2. Purchase an electric ariel from an electric retailer such as "Dick Smith" electronics or "Tandy".
  3. Remove "Executive" badge from rear of vehicle using a screwdriver to prise off plastic.
  4. Affix Vacationer decal on rear of vehicle (in place of previously removed Executive badge).
  5. Remove standard manual ariel from vehicle.
  6. Affix electric ariel on vehicle. Connect yellow wire from ariel plug to yellow wire in wiring loom to enable "automatic retraction" feature.
  7. Executive vehicle is now a "Vacationer" vehicle and owner may now tell friends and associates that the vehicle is worth a $3,500 premium over "base model" Executives.


[edit] Tips

  • Vacationers retained the "Executive" dash badge so this badge does not require replacement or removal.
  • If car should be resold at a later date, the owner may advertise the vehicle as "Vacationer", "Vacationer Mock-up" or "Executive updated to Vacationer".
  • Vacationers do have the "Vacationer" dash badge on the car.


[edit] Warnings

  • Beware of other jealous Executive owners who may try to peel off Vacationer sticker from rear or vehicles.
