For 164 years the Holden name has helped shape Australia's culture - first as a saddlery supplying a frontier nation with leather goods for horses, then as engineers making machinery and munitions for the war effort, and finally - and most famously - as motor car designers and manufacturers, helping us to explore our country in style and comfort in Australia's own car, Holden. Yet when Holden announced it would cease building cars in Australia after 2017, the four-wheeled heartbeat that has driven Australians for generations stopped dead. Just a few years later, after the original edition of this book, parent company General Motors pulled the plug, selling no Holdens beyond 2020. Holden: Our Car, now revised and featuring a new final chapter, explores and explains the dramatic rise and fall of Holden's empire. Written and researched by father and son Will and Toby Hagon, drawing on scores of interviews with Holden insiders and featuring unseen imagery as well as rare access to the Holden archives - a treasure trove of iconic artwork, advertising, photography and concept designs - this is the stunning story of Holden: Our Car.

When Holden announced it would stop building cars in Australia, a four-wheeled heartbeat stopped. After all Holden is our car, an iconic brand whose rise echoed that of our nation. Holden had evolved from a saddle business servicing a frontier nation to a motoring empire building Australian cars for Australian conditions owned by over 50% of Australian families. It didn't matter that Holden had been owned by America's General Motors for 80-plus years, or that most of its cars had been imported for decades. Holden was Australia's car and every one of us had a connection to the brand, to its cars and to its place in shaping our culture.The closure of Holden's manufacturing headquarters in 2017 means the end of the Australian motor industry as we've known it for nearly 120 years. But it's also the end of the road for the dreamers, designers, engineers and passionate car people who made the hundreds of Holden models inspired by this big, tough land. For all the international car brands on our streets today no one ever displaced Holden as the Australian car.Lavishly illustrated with never-before-seen photos, artwork, advertising and design sketches from the Holden archive, this book takes us deep inside the rise and fall of Holden, our car.

Take a drive down memory lane ... A small leather goods and harness-making shop in England became a fledgling horse-drawn carriage and coach-building business in colonial South Australia. It then morphed into Holden, a multinational company and a much-loved Australian icon. Holden endured through overwhelming wartime hardships, depression and adversity to be a respected marque of the Australia automotive industry and recognized around the globe. In this thoroughly researched book, author William Holden goes deep to examine the key branches of the Holden family tree and the Holden car story. HOLDEN our own explores the history, events and personalities that created the Holden business - from its birth to its ultimate sale to automotive giant General Motors and beyond - all through the lens of the Holden family dynasty. This book is a rare offering not only for the motoring enthusiast and Holden aficionados and historians but for every true and proud Australian.

More than Holden our own is an expanded, commemorative edition marking the 75th and 100th anniversary of the first Australian motor body for General Motors built by Holden Motor Body Builder. With more intricate and equally fascinating details, more hitherto unknown facts and more myth busting. In fact, a braver, broader exposé of the legend of the Holden car, the Holden Family, and its amazing enterprises. From very humble beginnings as a simple leather goods merchant in England, right through the courage of the dynasty's young founder in uprooting his whole life and forsaking his family to come to this 'new nation' of Australia. The generations of effort to expand, diversify and adapt to unimaginable conditions - the hardships of war, the constraints of government, the financial hardship of the depression, the ever-challenging competitiveness of rivals, and what was tantamount to bullying foreign ownership, the changing requirements, and unique conditions of this land of extreme climate, rough roads, demanding technology, and the diverse culture and desires of its people. Yet Holden did it. Against the odds. Holden, the family, the name, the car, the business conglomerate, achieved unprecedented, phenomenal success and popularity, and international admiration. Holden our own told, for the first time, the true story. It expounded some of the myths and errors that had thrived for years. More than Holden our own ventures further onto hallowed ground and forbidden territory. It says even more. This book is a rare offering not only for the motoring enthusiast and Holden aficionados and historians but for every true and proud Australian.

Commodore. Torana. Monaro. Holden captures the essence of these three great cars - their muscle, their romance and their engineering - as well as their glory days at racetracks such as Mount Panorama at Bathurst and Phillip Island. It celebrates 50-plus years of great Aussie motoring memories, from the original Monaro's launch in 1968 to living in the seventies through the Torana years. Then there's the Commodore era, covering the VB to ZB models from 1978 to 2020 and including the last Aussie-built V8s. Holden features photos, stories and a comprehensive history of the country's best-loved vehicles, plus a detailed analysis of all the models of these three nameplates.
