BEDTIME STORY The First Holden First

The First Holden Story Before Australia had its own identity on four wheels, there was a vision, a belief that this country could build something for itself, shaped by its roads, its people, and its spirit. Tonight, we step back to the moment that changed everything. The birth of the first Holden. Not just a car, but a symbol of post-war hope, ingenuity, and national pride. From a saddlery business to the production line of Australia’s first fully homegrown vehicle, this is the story of the people, the risks, and the quiet determination that put Australia in the driver’s seat. It’s more than motoring history, it’s the story of who we were becoming.
