About the book >.>.> For most Australian families buying an early Holden was a symbol of their increasing prosperity and for many an ‘FX’ or an FJ was the first good car or even the first car outright they ever owned. In the late 1950s and 1960s a whole new wave of Australians fell in love as second-hand Holdens became the first cars acquired by the younger generation. Now thousands of Australians have fond nostalgic. memories of their first Holdens. In their day these cars were photographed like family members in a way that no longer happens. For Me and My Holden Don Loffler made it his mission to beg borrow and buy such photographs for publication creating a stunning time capsule and preserving Australia’s and Holden’s history for future generations. Almost all the images in Me and My Holden are published here for the first time. They include photographs of people at leisure at work or on holiday with their Holdens as well as photographs and advertisements from GM Holden Ltd’s archival collection that would normally never see the light of day. Detailed captions and stories reveal the history behind the images.
