Since the first model in 1948 Holden has become intricately woven into the fabric of Australian society, our culture and the national psyche, and... the lives of millions and millions of Australians — whose family hasn't owned a Holden!
As fabulous as Holdens are, they are just lumps of metal without someone to love them. The story of Holden's 60 fabulous years is told by the people who know Holden best - passionate Holden owners. Their stories are funny, humorous, obsessive and sometimes almost unbelievable. Owners of both genders from all age groups tell their stories; a 'youngster' in his 20's with his high performance HSV through to Alf, 83, who wouldn't part with his Commodore for quids. The cars are captivating, the owners even more so.
Every aspect of Holden ownership is displayed: pristine, original and unrestored beauties, mildly customised daily-driven cars to the wildest supercharged, chrome-laden, airbrush mural-covered 1970's street machine ute. It also includes the oldest privately-owned Holden with an estimated value exceeding $1 million. Throw in page after page of fascinating historical photos from the vaults of Holden and you have a book that will be read again and again... and again.
