They are still popular and we do send some of our cars to the USA and to UAR. However the petrol guzzlers that are made will need to take a drastic turn soon because we just can't afford to fill them up. The blue ute in the photo above is very collectible and Holden's actually are the family cars here for many and the older ones are still very sought after. I think though that by the time 2050 comes along we will all be using some other type of transport and if it is badged as HoldenMilli Musingshttp://millimusings.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-270323250340964084.post-28121221995185932042008-06-30T23:49:25.000+09:302008-06-30T23:49:25.000+09:30That was very clever, Perhaps they might become me...That was very clever, Perhaps they might become meaningless with the years.Being english and living at the time in the 50's when many english could emmigrate to down under for five english pounds each, Australian is not so strange and far away for me.
