Men don't cry. Well real men do cry. Goodbye to a respected loved family member HOLDEN. From a Kiwi over the ditch. All Regards

So many memories in this video, what I would give to go back and sit on the center console in Dad's WB and HJ utes he had when I was 6 or 7, or my uncle's loud HQ 1 tonner with the golf ball gear stick, or Dad's VT he got brand new for work, (I had never been in anything with such a quiet engine), or my VZ Ute I sold 3 years ago because I needed a 4x4. My HG I bought as a project then sold because the rust was too extensive and expensive to fix, my HZ which is sitting in the shed while I spend about 3 hours a month stripping the body, mum's VE which we bought almost brand new and hasn't missed a beat in 315, 000km and counting, Dad's VE SSV which spends most of its time in the shed immaculately still on 30, 000km, even the HJ Station Wagon mum owned long before I was born and the 2 Rodeo's and Colorado dad had before his current Colorado. Every one of these Holdens hold a special place in my heart and even though they are not built anymore I hope I haven't owned my last Australian built Holden.

Good on ya all...I'm a Ford nutcase fan since a kid but hugely respect the mighty Holden brand . There are plenty of Holdens that you wouldn't need to hold a gun to my head to enjoy lets just say . My favourites are the EH, HR and VF . My uncle had an HR Premier with red upholstery I remember very well . Even had the wheel spats and venetian shade too ...

Here in Brazil, the Holden Commodore was sold as Chevrolet Omega from 1998 to 2011. Such a great car! Big, comfortable, powerful and reliable.

My Dad had an old FJ ute he used it in the bush around Manjimup. You could by them for $20 . He then used an EH ute for work. Collected rain water on the vinyl canopy. Lift the Dot. My first Holden was an EJ Station Wagon wirh a silent running 129 Grey motor. It had a Diamond Dot radio but no heater demister. I drove around Albanys cold wet winters in a jacket and ugg boots. Wow....then came a HK vans and cars. Even a 1 tonne ute with no side panels that my dog fell off a number of times at low speed when he saw roos. Now I have a 2006 Adventra lx for 13 years hoping it goes up in value....use it for long trips and firewood cutting. Thats 55 years of Holdens there people! And I was born in Wales!

The first Holden had an engine that looked very much like the 2.5 litre engine of the Opel Kapitän (Captain) of 1939.
Later Holdens looked like contemporary Opels in Europe, but with larger and more powerful engines...

I’m 19 I just bought my first commodore the mighty VE Commodore, this is the greatest car Australia ever produced and my love for it is greater than anything I’ve ever felt. Now I have to grow up without beautiful big Holden cars and settle for some overseas garbage that has been made by a person who is probably on less than 10 dollars an hour.... oh so much pride people get out of that. 😡😡😡😡😡
