The Holden museum in Echuca has many Holden cars which are owned by various Holden enthusiasts, these owners have done their cars up immaculately and display them in the museum for a time. I enjoyed viewing them all, and was permitted to take photos.
The history and information of the Holden can be found [ here ]
I took photos of all the cars there but showing a few in this post and not in order.
Interesting place !
ReplyDeleteI thought is was, even though I'm not that interested in cars, enjoyed viewing these Holden's.
DeleteBeautiful old cars!Think of the time they were out running!what an amazing period!
ReplyDeleteI had to google the town Elisabeth too..Interestin place !Named after Queen Elisabeth!You live in an wonderful place I can only dream of.Thank you for sharing so we all can see the wonderful things from your place
I believe there are car rallies for these cars to go in, so that is good they get used that way and are able to show off their Holdens.
DeleteYou are welcome and one day you might get to Australia to visit :)
Those are beautiful cars. I wonder if the brand could be brought back. I see you posted this on Monday July 13, which makes me smile, since I am getting ready for church here on Sunday morning July 12. It is a big old world!
ReplyDeleteOh the time difference, does make one smile being a day ahead down here :)
DeleteThe brand of Holden was taken over by an American company, but they are not going to make a 'left hand drive' so that rules Australia out.
Adoro le vecchie auto, per me favolose!!
ReplyDeleteBuona giornata.
Always old cars are interesting it reminds me of how far we have come in that field.
DeleteNice cars.
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed Bob.
DeleteAll the cars are beautiful but I especially liked the first one, it’s fantastic.
ReplyDeleteHugs and take care
They are good those cars, my dad used to buy a new model every year for years, then he went to BMW for years then onto Audi for years.
DeleteThey have been restored and maintained beautifully. I think that old cars, like old houses, have a charm of their own.
ReplyDeleteThey sure do have something lovely about them, reminds me of how things once were.
DeleteThe cars are beautiful, classic beauties.
ReplyDeleteTake care and have a wonderful day.
Thanks Bill.
DeleteInteresantes y bonitos. Besos Margaret.
ReplyDeleteThey are and lovely and shiny.
DeleteI love old cars especially old Holdens
ReplyDeleteJo-Anne, most Australians love their Holdens.
DeleteI had never even heard of Holden cars.
ReplyDeleteBeing made solely in Australia for years then bought by a company in America who stated they were not going to make them with the left hand drive, that was the end of that David.
DeleteGreat photos of iconic cars. I really like those with original number plates. There is another Holden (GM-H) museum in Gippsland.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting there is another Museum which is good.
DeleteThey were a great car when made in Australia.
Now might be the time to rejuvenate the car industry here in Australia.
ReplyDeleteGetting industries started again should be a major priority for the Federal and State government members of this new and sound working Fed/State/Territory leaders.
We can but live in hope.
Not surprised that the Kanuks have never heard of the Holden car!!!!
Cheers
Colin
Wouldn't that be just wonderful if the car industry was commenced again here, you just never know what will happen.
DeleteI like these beautiful old cars. Nice to visit the museum to look at all those old cars.
ReplyDeleteCertainly was worth going and visiting that museum.
DeleteGee they have been brought back to looking brand new. An interesting museum. I saw some that we owned over the years.
ReplyDeleteThey were all spick and span, well looked after.
ReplyDeleteThere was one VERY FAST Holden that was imported to the US rebadged as a Pontiac GTO. Very fast. I like the older models a lot.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know about the import, that's interesting.
DeleteBrings back good memories the older Holdens
Hello Margaret,
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic!!
Wonderful to see all these old cars. So very nice.
This is a toy store for all men. Nice post!!
Greetings, Marco
You are right on toys for men Marco.
DeleteGood to see the Holdens and sad at the same time that they are no longer made here.
ReplyDeleteYes Rosie, it's sad so many jobs lost and so on.
DeleteVeterans are the prettiest cars for me ❤
