__** Holden is an Australian car company, that made the first ever all Australian car ; Holden 48/215 (unnoficailly named the Holden FX) a 6-cylinder mid-size sedan. These were made from November 1948 until October 1953. The first ever Holden 48/215 ever made was realeased in 1948 at Port Melbourne, Victoria by the priminister at the time, Ben Chifley. The design was based on a concept by Amercan car making company "Chevrolet", but it was deemed too small for the American market. Thus the design was adapted by Australia, with 94% of the parts coming used to make the car were made in Australia. Later the iconic Holden FJ was adapted from this design.
