About the Holden Automotive Community

Our Story

The Holden Automotive Community was born out of a shared passion for an iconic Australian brand that has left an indelible mark on our nation’s history. When Holden ceased operations in 2020, we knew that the story couldn’t end there. This community was founded to ensure that the legacy of Holden continues to thrive in the hearts and garages of enthusiasts across Australia and beyond.
