50 Years of Holden - page 1

This is scanned from a newspaper ad from 1976 celebrating 50 years of building GM cars in Australia. It was a full page and I have only scanned the top half, with the cars built from 1926 to 1968. Holden was a busy body maker and there are probably a thousand different models from these years.

Though many of the models look like the North American version, all the bodies shown here were made from scratch by Holden in Australia. High import duties on complete cars made body building a big industry.

Two of my favorites are the Hurlingham Speedster, which is cut off in the fold at the top, made both as Vauxhall and Chevrolet. Also the fastback coupe in the late thirties known as the Sloper, see the ’37 Chevy example.

Low Volume Models from Detroit

More stuff from my auto sales literature collection. These are models not finished on the assembly line, but sent to Cars and Concepts for installation of equipment. Landau roofs, T-Tops, and in this case – the Mustang convertible.

Early export Toyotas

None of these were available in the USA, as far as I know.

Henry Ford Museum

Some pictures on my computer for several years that I hadn’t put on flickr. Raining heavily, so I’m not going out and shoot today!
