The rapid growth of General Motors-Holden's Limited throughout the '50s is one of Australia's greatest success stories. By 1952, the company was producing roughly three in 10 vehicles sold in the country and, just a year later, Holden cars gained market leadership. In the early years, the factory could never seem to keep pave with demand. But the company decided to diversify into the realm of commercial vehicles nonetheless. In no time, the Holden panel van was preferred by tradesmen and other commercial travellers who needed a vehicle large enough to transport product samples and other materials from place to place. This panel van was designed without windows on the sides so no one could see what was inside. And your replica is an exacting recreation of a van with its original Laverton Gray body paint and bright red interior.
