The 1973 Camaro that Holman was driving when killed was something of personal trademark for the man. The iconic motor vehicle was decorated with bumper stickers for Republican candidates such as Jon Kyl and JD Hayworth and stood out the luxury vehicles common in the Paradise Valley/Scottsdale area.[original research?]
