There were some kind of touching videos etc from the final day (the final production day was the 20th; the celebrations on the 20th were only for employees). They had a "dream cruise" on Sunday the 15th in and around the Adelaide plant neighborhood with a couple hundred thousand people lining the route. If you go to holden.co.au they have what they're going to do in the future (about a thousand engineers/designers/marketers are still going to be left--they still have full design capabilities there)

saw that Holden had an assembly plant in South Africa for a while-some(or all ?) of the cars made there were badged as Chevys including an "El Camino"Holden ute. |
