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. 1
    Purchase a "Vacationer" decal pack for $29.95 from an authorised Holden dealer or third party reseller.
  2. 2
    Purchase an electric ariel from an electric retailer such as "Dick Smith" electronics or "Tandy".
  3. 3
    Remove "Executive" badge from rear of vehicle using a screwdriver to prise off plastic.
  4. 4
    Affix Vacationer decal on rear of vehicle (in place of previously removed Executive badge).
  5. 5
    Remove standard manual ariel from vehicle.
  6. 6
    Affix electric ariel on vehicle. Connect yellow wire from ariel plug to yellow wire in wiring loom to enable "automatic retraction" feature.
  7. 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.
