The Death of Holden - The End of an Australian Dream (Updated Edition)
This book presents a clear and factual account of the final years of the Holden factory in Adelaide and the impact of its closure.
More than the end of a company, it represents the loss of an era and a long-standing part of Australian identity. Holden was seen as a national car, chosen by both enthusiasts and everyday drivers. The book examines how a model so respected and widely used became unprofitable to produce.
The narrative focuses on the people who built and drove Holden cars, the challenges of keeping automotive manufacturing in Australia, and the consequences for workers and communities when production stops.
Although Holdens will remain on Australian roads for many years, the closure marked a symbolic fall of an industrial icon.
This updated edition includes a new chapter.
