Description

Photographer: Unidentified

Date: 1948

Location: Brisbane, Queensland, Australia; -27.46888,153.022827

Description: George Green of Eagers Motors (left) at the official launch of the new Holden with H. A. Cavanaugh, General Sales Manager of General Motors Holden. This first Holden was called the 48/215, but later became better known as the FX. It was powered by a six cylinder, 2.2 litre 'Grey Motor' driving through a three-speed column shift transmission.

Sir Laurence Hartnett had worked on the idea of an all-Australian car since 1936, as Managing Director of General Motors - Holden, although he had left GMH by the time the first Holden was released. He then developed the idea of manufacturing a smaller, cheaper car in Australia, which was to become the ill-fated Hartnett.
