FOOTBALL, meat pies, kangaroos and Holden cars… Holden’s relationship with Australia is powerful and unique, and Wheels magazine has been sharing that story with its readers since 1953.
To celebrate, we have collated some of our greatest and most iconic stories from over the years into a one-off special edition.
We’ve trawled the extensive Wheels archive, and put together 146 pages of dedicated Holden content.
From our exclusive modern-day drive of the 48-215, following Holden’s original 1947 test route; to our 2016 ‘Last Supper’ with some of Holden’s most influential engineers, designers, and marketers, this is a selection of the very best Wheels stories about Holden’s new and old in one compelling, magazine compendium.
Take a trip down memory lane as we revisit the lion brand’s rich local manufacturing history, with reprints of original stories on iconic models such as the EH sedan, HK Monaro, and original VB Commodore.
There is also a selection of our epic drives around Australia and the US.
Motorsport greats Allan Moffat, Jim Richards, and Win Percy also feature in a selection of our best road tests.
