The Holden 48–215 was the company's first wholly domestically produced model, when introduced in 1948
Holden's one-millionth model was an EJ series, produced on 26 October 1962.
The celebrated Holden Monaro coupé, introduced in 1968 and based on the mainstream Kingswood, has since gained a cult following.
The Commodore was introduced in 1978, following the success of its Kingswood forebear. It would become Holden's bestselling vehicle to date.
