I used "Holden" as the coequal term for the company. Same as other might say GMH.
If somebody asked what type of car an EH is and who built it. Holden is a term just about everybody would accept as an answer.

The fact the company has had many name changes such as General Motors-Holden's Ltd, General Motors-Holden's Pty Ltd, Holden Limited and now GM Holden Limited.
Using the term Holden to represent the company as a whole or in fact the car brand is totally acceptable in my mind.


Not quite in the HBD sense as I don't think this stuff was dealer fitment, that is why they got the HBD plate. Dealers fitted accessories like towbars,mudflaps etc. I guess they could fit other accessories like the canopies to existing stock vehicles but then the cars didn't get the HBD plate afaik. I'm pretty most of the HBD stuff was fitted after production but before the dealer took delivery of the car. Not sure of the logistics of it, and it may have differed depending upon the item being fitted eg I suppose it is possible a 3rd part like HSV may have fitted some stuff eg the 180/185/195kW HBD upgrades to VN-VSIII.

I understand what you mean with the Holden bit. But it is still not quite right terminology! What type of car is an EH? A Holden is 100% correct. Who made it? GMH! Ask the same question of what kind of car a Statesman, or for that matter a TC Gemini is
