Overview

'If you are, or ever have been, the owner of a Holden, read this book and rejoice. If you've never owned a Holden, read it and weep.' - Frankie J Holden The Holden rolled into our lives in 1948 and has been firmly rooted in the Australian psyche ever since. The FJ, the EH, the Torana, the Kingswood, the panel van, the Monaro, the ute - each car has been like a tuning fork for eras of Australian family, city and bush life. Almost every Australian has a Holden story. Now, as the sun sets on an iconic automotive dynasty, this book is a time capsule, celebrating the Holden with tales from all walks of Australian life. They are funny, warm, sad and sometimes ridiculous.
