Holden plans to say farewell

Dom Tripolone

Holden has revealed plans for a street party to celebrate its heritage as Australia's last car maker.

The brand will host a cruise through northern Adelaide as part of a street parade to celebrate 70 years of vehicle production. 

Owners of classic Holdens are being given the chance to participate in the drive and are encouraged to register for the Holden Dream Cruise

The Holden Dream Cruise will be held on Sunday October 15 and follow a 10km route through Elizabeth, paying homage to the community which has been part of Holden's heritage.   

It will be lead by the first and last Holdens to be built in Australia, an original 48-215 and a current VF Commodore, along with a number of historic models from its collection. It will culminate with a show 'n shine display at a local football oval where Holden will reveal a display that outlines its future in Australia, including the all-new imported Commodore and, potentially, a locally-designed concept car that showcases cutting edge technologies.

"The Holden Dream Cruise is not just for owners of classic Holden cars made in Australia but for the wider community," said Richard Phillips, Holden Executive Director of Manufacturing.  

"We want to hold an event that recognises the large community of people who care about the brand, its manufacturing heritage and its future.  

"This includes not only customers and enthusiasts but people for whom employment at Holden has been an important part of their family, in some cases for decades."

This will be Holden's only public goodbye for its local manufacturing operations which will finish on October 20.
