Welcome to the Sixties Holden Archives

This site is dedicated to the history of the vehicles produced by General Motors-Holden during the 1960's in Australia. Most Aussies have grown up with these cars, and most have memories of special occasions or events which involve these cars. In 1998, Australia celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the Holden Motor Company. The following pages include a number of specifications, some brief history and some original advertising literature from the time these cars were released. Also, information on the experimental Holden, the Hurricane, has also been included.

New stuff

Hey guys! Anyone still viewing these pages? I've been trying to decide whether there was still enough interest out there to justify the expense of this site. I do it as a labour of love - to share some history and memories of great Aussie cars with other Aussies, and those from around the world. It's actually quite amazing that we even had a range of Aussie cars, with our low population in the 50's and 60's. Send me a quick note at the email at the bottom of the page to let me know if you find the pages useful or interesting. Anyway, for now the site remains. It's been a while since any updates (like a few years actually), so I'll try pull my finger out and add some new stuff. I have some info on FE, FC and FB models, and will include these once I've sorted the space and hosting issues. I've just added a brochure on HD utes and vans. The images still need a little cleaning up, but I'll do that shortly. Yes, I really do intend to update! ;-) All of these can be viewed from the respective History pages. Click on 50th Anniversary image above to enter. Enjoy!

You can enter the Sixties Holden Archives by clicking here, or on the 50th Anniversary image above, or you can navigate around all of my pages using the EH Utilities at the bottom of each page.

If you have arrived at this page, you can find more information on these vehicles, as well as lots of other stuff, if you check out my Home Page. Details of my own early Holden projects can be found there.

I haven't yet worked out exactly where to put the next two items, the 'phantom' Holdens, so for now I'll leave them on this page.

Information on the Holden Hurricane, and the Holden Torana GTR-X are both available by clicking on the respective image below.
