Abstract

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. Here, author William Holden goes deep to examine the key branches of the Holden family tree and the Holden car story. The book 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.
