**** has certainly changed in the way of production lines!

I actually used to own one of the VERY FIRST commodores produced in Victoria.

Good work on the pic of the 1 millionth Holden!!

Now the trick will be find who has the car and what the body number is!

i dont wanna sound like a know-it-all... but they have been around in some way or another for longet then that.

back in around 1860 holden first started out as a saddle making company. in 1913 they started production of sidecars for motorbikes. during and after WW1 they built car bodies for dodge and buick. in 1924 GM did a deal with holden so they would only build GM car, bodies at their new plant in woodville. the 'lion and stone' symbol was sculpted in 1928 and in 31 holden was bought buy GM to form GM-H. fishermens bend was opened in 36.

*sigh* i cant be stuffed copying more out of the book along side of me, but you get the idea... holden has been an australian company for almost 150 years
