OUR VERY OWN FIRST AUSTRALIAN FAMILY CAR
THE HOLDEN
For those of you not in Australia. Holden is our Aussie family car. GMH started production on the vehicle in 1948 and the very first model to
roll off the assembly line was the FX. The photos are courtesy of National Archives of Australia.
The follow is an exsert from the very first Holden Brochure.
Australia's own Car.
The moment you see the new Holden you will be enthusiastic! It looks so right - Right in size - Right in design - Low slung - Beautiful from every angle

When you drive it other things will win your thrilling approval; a remarkable road performance combined with quite exceptional economy;
ample comfortable accommodation for five or six.

Modern, better engineering design to give the utmost roominess for the wheel base. Shock proof springing. Ample road clearance and trad for any road. An ease of
handling parking. A new safety due to stronger construction and a generous allowance in lock up luggage space.

In these pages is told the story of the Holden car This is the story of a great Australian enterprise, an enterprise which has the greatest backing of knowledge,
skill and resources of any undertaking in Australian industrial History. .
For behind Holden stands "General Motors Corporation"
|
|
|
All General motors resources,all their experience all there knowledge, all the best available technical skill and equipment were drawn upon for the design and
manufacture of this car. Such a concentration of human skills has resulted in a car which had a tremendous personality.

|
|
There is no other car like it. No other car could be like it. For General Motors engineers started with a clear sheet of paper and designed not only a the
car itself, but the plans to produce it. These engineers gave it everything they had and Holden reflects all that is in their rich and varied experience in American
and England and on the Continent.
