10 iconic Holdens

Holden -48-215

1. Holden 48-215

Arguably, no other car in history has been so carefully conceived for a unique set of circumstances as the Holden 48-215 was.

2. Holden FE Station Sedan

If the original Holden 48-215 may be viewed as almost an automotive miracle, being an all-new car developed specifically for Australia and uniquely suited to the task, then the 1957 FE Station Sedan was Holden’s second near-miracle.

3. Holden EH

The EH’s arrival launched a whole new era for Holden.

4. Holden HQ

5. Holden WB Caprice

7. Holden VT Commodore

The VT Commodore can now be seen as the new Holden that most closely delivered on its potential. It is also the model that made the Commodore’s market leadership over its rival Falcon definitive and permanent.

8 & 9. Holden Torana A9X & XU-1

Toranas come in all shapes and sizes but the A9X and XU-1 are the stars
