1,000,000 Holden

[Troy711]

Added up all the models from 48-215 to VZ = 5,609,552 units.

Some missing in other models? Torana's/VQ's statesmans maybe?

im only going by what my book says. it says 'XXXXX number HOLDEN built' and i was just assuming it was the major model. im pretty sure it does include all models...

Ok on that - whats the book u r reading?

 

[Troy711]

this one.

i call it the 'holden bible'. it has info on holdens history, stats on the 'big' car models, build numbers and figures for most (possibly all) models (includes torana, gemini, barnia, rodeo, jackaroo).

im not too sure if it is avalible to buy, there is no barcode on it and we received a free copy as part of a chev show entrants pack. it goes up to VY and i also have an older copy that goes to VT (but im not too sure where it is...

Heart of the lion : the 50 year history of Australia's Holden / by John Wright is a great wealth of knowledge for all those interested. Check out ya local library. It isn't quite up to date anymore but for those interested in the history of holden and what model's had what features and more statistics than you know what to do with this book is great.
