Thank you to all holden manufacturing employee,s for your service to Australia and the people you made dreams and memories that will live on they also deserve recognition for housing and infrastructure builders plumbers and brick layers where able to do the job because of the 1 tonner a real Australian work horse
I bought myself a Korean Holden about a month and a half ago. 2011 Barina with only 40,500 kms on the clock as of today. I know it's not a real Holden but It works for me.
I'm going to visit Brisbane next week and planning to go to beecham holden for take picture with holden big signage... and there's no holden signage anymore right now??
So sorry too see the "HOLDEN", name going, but hopefully within the next decade or so, we may see "HOLDEN" come back but without "GM ", or General Motors, but our very own factory produced vehicles for Australian Jobs. It will take a few billion to get holden up and running again, but hey, who knows on what that tomorrow may bring, and too me personally its not if,but when. 👍😎👍. Because as far as i am concerned Holden will always be our iconic brand for now and forever, as holden will always be embedded in our hearts and minds and never ever forgotten.🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
And bought a Factory in Korea that was a Daewoo factory and they refurbished the factory and no doubt employed the former Daewoo factory workers. The Holden Captive we bought was a nice looking car and we got 10 years out of it, which is more than most got out of theirs, but we did have our problems with the quality of the manufacturing. The motor should have had a chain instead of a timing belt, that was its undoing, nobody wanted to work on them because of their reputation of bad quality. It sits in our mechanic’s yard now for more than two years, waiting for a miracle and we already told him he can do what he likes with it. We have given up hope but it was a good car to drive.

It’s a shame but it’s the inevitable result of a long line of bad decisions, I have owned a Holden Apollo which was really a Toyota Camry and a Holden Captiva, which is really a Daewow, and a Camera which just wasn’t a good car to buy because it lacked quality and everyone else seemed to know this except me and didn’t tell me until after I bought it. If you produce so many rubbish cars, you bring down the value of all the cars you produce no matter how good many of the cars were. Peter Brock would role over in his grave if he could see what has happened but I am sure that many Holden’s will be around for a long time yet. In my defence, I had seen them using Cameras as stunt cars at Movie World and that left me thinking they must be ok because they used them for precision driving day after day and they had to be reliable for that and when ours was running well it went okay. My Holden Torana was a very good reliable car, I almost forgot about it. I would not mind owning one of these cars in the post except for the fuel bill.
Same thing with Pontiac here in the Chinese colony formerly known as the US...GM would literally destroy the entire world to keep Pontiac engineers from continuing to embarrass their sacred Chevy division...their obsession with making everything slower than the Corvette at literally any cost-- instead of simply trying to make everything faster-- led them from global dominance to well-deserved total irrelevance.
Heritage Holden in Lilydale Vic still has all Holden signage 👍🇦🇺

Well said..
I'm in Collie, WA today, and the Holden signs are still up at the dealership here and about half a dozen Commodores in the showroom.
Some very well kept beauty’s there. I hope Australia wide Holden owners and fans keep the Holden car meets up.
What an epic send off video. Love your work. It was an amazing day.
Thank you so much
Weather was perfect, thanks again! Love what you do.
Such a shame, North lakes was up still until a few months ago. All gone now
Sad day for all Aussie car people.
Maryborough still has the big signs on the posts one shop is up for lease and they left the signs on the building 😊
Love your passion Mal. Beautiful cars. Shame about Aussie manufacturing!
Sad day 😢 but an awesome show Dad, Holden's live on forever ❤😊
There are still a few dealers with signs up.
I know a dealership that still has Holden signs up
Good stuff mate.
The dealership near me in Perth is still fully signed up.
Ok, thanks for this, i was told this was the last one with ALL their signs still up.
Which one is that Fu ?

A special day, some beautiful Holdens! Can you find out what colour is on that gorgeous Red, Burgandy, Candy HR? Love this one Mal!!!
Hope your club can get yr hands on some of those signs, especially the big lion badges
I believe that they went to auction with all proceeds going to a charity?
Bye bye...END OF AN ERA!
Keep it alive MAL!!!
Cheers
Magic
Nice Mal, I know our fremantle shacks holden sign is coming down very soon, will be a very sad day.
It is sad. Plus some people only have Holden dealer stamps in log books, that is longer available i believe.
Legacy must live on for we all have from it
Well said 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Great coverage, cheers to holden

Most of the ones near me got busted up and thrown in the skip..

😂😂

My CV8 which had a full Holden service history is now no longer Holden exclusive as no Holden service stamps are available any longer in SA.
I didnt think about that, that is a shame.

Probably a good thing...just saying.

oh no!!!! anyway......
I'd rather have an old Holden (even a plastic pig VL Commodore) than a piece of new Chev junk any day.
It's a pity somebody can't buy the Holden name off GM and start again. They mismanaged the company into the ground, trashing a once great name.

Old news
That Beecham Holden signs came down this week?
@ledzepp3566… you’re old news! 🤣🤣
You can can thank GM and the Abbott government.
Sad, GM US management totally useless
Who cares
About a million Aussies I would think.
