A special feature will be shown on Channel 9 celebrating Holden; Saturday 6th December at 4:30pm (check local TV guide for any variations) To get an exclusive sneak preview go to http://www.holdencampaig...ry/story.html#/playshow/

No mention of the V8 intro and the first Monaro. 60 years is a long time but, there are some milestones to be celebrated by the actual Holden fan.

They raved on about the VB commodore, then skipped straight to VN & raved about it. The only airtime the VL got was 5 seconds of the yacht ad during the closing credits.... I would assume they did that as VC-VL were

It was an informative trip through the last 60 years of vehicles produced by GM Holden. It is obvious that many do not know that Chairman and Managing Director Mark Reuss owns a black 1951 Holden just like mine and ce

Holdens predictions were that half of commodores sold would be starfire 4. After all we were suppose to be running out of fuel back then. Are well the blu

The show was very entertaining to Holden fans and others who may not own a Holden. I find it interesting how it was on at the same time as the V8 racing. The show looked at the best of Holden over 60 years. That is clearl
