It seems that only several images of this manufacturer's cars could be found, but what is the story behind these names? Maybe anyone knows? Thank You!

As far as I can understand the Arcadipane was the design company that provided Australian manufacturers with design studies, right?

mainly associated with holdens but a stylist who made a name and consultancy of himself - maybe the first australian to do so ...this one - i had not seen before - looks to be merely a finessed hatchback torana or sunbird (hope not, those opel bits were not well liked) so it should have had a 5.0 V8.
i think peter A. went to england, dont know if he came back. i'm not sure he didn't have some input into the  at least the hero car in mad max - i'm probably deluded though

bumping thread after reading Motor magazine at checkout - mad max's car indeed down to the above-named; and he had worked for ford not holden, apparently.
