Trains and Automobiles - a photo on Flickriver

All we need is a plane. Well actually the museum has one in another wing: www.flickr.com/photos/luminosity7/50580495803/in/album-72...

This lovely looking FC Holden is on display chained to a carriage for transport. Holden was the first fully manufactured Australian car and the company has a proud history that goes back to 1860 when James Alexander Holden arrived in Adelaide from England and set up a saddlery business.

I tell the story here: www.flickr.com/photos/luminosity7/50292645726/in/album-72...

But in 1908 when the first cars started to appear in Australia, Holden began to make upholstery. By 1917 they were manufacturing car bodies for General Motors. These were so successful that the giant General Motors bought them in 1931. In 1948 the very first badged Holden ran off the production line at Fishermans Bend in Melbourne. In 2020 General Motors ceased all production of Holden cars. In fact Australia no longer manufactures any cars - our "clever" country would rather finance jobs overseas than look after its own people! But isn't this the story of Global Capitalism?
