About this product

Product Information

On 29 November 1948, the first all-Australian Holden rolled off the line at Fishermens Bend. All who were there, Prime Minister Chifley included, believed they were witnessing the emergence of an independently strong industrial nation. The mass produced 48-215 was everything its backers had hoped for, and supply never really caught up with demand. From then on, the Holden car has stood for far more than four wheels to carry the clan. There have been 26 models of the family Holden since the 48-215, as well as the smaller Sunbirds, Toranas, Camiras, Astras, Barinas and endless variations of each. Like the 48-215, all of them were a statement of their age-the Station Sedan bringing all the leisure opportunities of a continent to a mobile family the HK Kingswood somehow converging power and grace with pure Australian head-of-the-household manhood the Commodore linking our fragmented industry to the global economy. This superb book - new in paperback - tells the story of each, of their significance to the motoring public and of the company that brought them to be. In sweeping chapters that span the 1890s to the 1990s, John Wright tells the story of the company of a proud Adelaide coachbuilder which has grown, with the backing of General Motors, to be the motoring brand which defines Australia like no other.
