Our Touring Past

A September 1953 ad for the FX Holden.

How is this for a cool collectable? Its an early 1950's GMH Silent Salesman. Basically its a fancy brochure holder.

Great piece of kit Richard, they did a similar one for Vauxhall, let me know if you ever find one, got to be one out there somewhere.

A 1953 vintage photo of an old Melbourne tram with the 100,000 th Holden display.

Hi Richard.
What a great old photo !!
I wander if Holden will parade the last Holden off the production line around on a tram when they close down in the not too distant future.

Cheers

GMH paraded Vauxhalls on a special tram in Brisbane in the 60s too, wonder if those special trams survived.

Here's an early advertisement about the new Holden rather than for it from The Australian Women's Weekly via Trove. It's probably a bit hard to read, the interesting bit is the little booklet they were giving away to tell all about the new car. I've never seen one, you would think there would have to be a few about. Something to look out for Richard if you don't have one already. George

Just love these old photos.

A very cool 1950's movie theatre ad.
