Own every Holden.
The Australian company goes back to 1856 and the saddlery of James Alexander Holden in Adelaide. It moved into car bodies in the early twentieth century. General Motors bought it in 1931. In 1948 it presented the first car designed entirely in Australia. GM retired the brand in 2020.
The start of their anecdote. The album's other cards are for you to discover in the game.
Holden
1962–1963 · Inline-6
The one millionth Holden, an EJ Premier, rolled out on 26 October 1962. That luxury model was new with the EJ, with leather trim, bucket seats, metallic paint, a centre console and a Hydra-matic automatic as standard. The whole car broke sharply with the EK it replaced in July 1962: a lower roofline, a flatter boot and no fins.

Holden
1960–1961 · Inline-6
Left-hand drive arrived with the FB, launched on 14 January 1960: it was the first Holden also built that way, those cars being destined for export markets. Its new look brought a lower bonnet, finned rear mudguards and a wrap-around windscreen. Under the bonnet sat a 138 cubic-inch six of 75 bhp, the last Holden engine with a 3-inch bore.

Holden
1958–1960 · Inline-6
Its styling recalled a scaled-down 1955 Chevrolet, yet the FC was an entirely Australian design, introduced on 6 May 1958 as an improved, facelifted FE. The range spanned seven models, from sedans in three trim levels to "Station Sedan" wagons, a coupe utility and a panel van. It was also the first Holden to be regularly sold in Indonesia.
