GM Heritage Center... Eye Candy for Car Buffs

GM always, well mostly, turned out good reliable cars, as they did with the Holden. Long live Holden.
 

And it's not open to the public because ... ?

Schmucks.


I've always liked GM products, much more than Fords or that MOPAR junk ... :playful:

And what's this Holden stuff? It's the second time this week I've seen discussions about this thing. It's a glorified extension of GM, right?

Not glorified Phil .... like you, I prefer GM stuff to Ford and Chrysler. I often say that repairing Fords paid for my boys to go to a private school. ;)

Government Motors is shutting down its Australian operation as of 2017. General Motors-Holden was the Australian division; they started (seriously) making cars here in 1948. The first one was a Holden and went by the imaginative model description, 48-215. It was a downsized Chevvy with a 215ci downsized Chevvy motor. They were rust buckets and handled like a bullock wagon but they were roomy and reasonably economical to run.

I believe it!

Ah, okay, thank you - I had never heard of a Holden before now (except of course Holden Caulfield from The Catcher in the Rye :D).

It strongly reminds me of the Checker cabs that were so popular in NYC years ago - big and roomy and strong as an ox, but not exactly luxury rides.
