She's a Beauty!
She's a Beauty! is back in print. Now in two volumes, this lavishly illustrated first volume documents the Holden story from 1934 to 1948. Rich with new stories, photographs and facts, it includes not only material from the 2006 enlarged edition of She's a Beauty!, but also relevant material from Still Holden Together.
Holden Treasures
Here at last is Don Loffler's long-promised book on rare and special examples of the first ten Holden models. The first five chapters feature such vehicles in their recent and/or current state. The last five are devoted to historic images of the vehicles in their heyday. Thanks to painstaking and persistent research, Don has been able to assemble an amazing collection of over 500 images from black-and-white photographs and colour slides, many of which are bound to surprise enthusiasts and readers of this book.
Holden Snapshots
When 'Holden Days' was released, Don Loffler had no idea that he would receive many new images from readers generally and, in particular, from the relatives and friends of those whose images appear in the book. In addition, he kept locating new images through his own research. 'Holden Snapshots' is the result of all this.
Holden Days
If Holden Days was all in pictures with brief captions, it would still be a book to cherish, but Don Loffler uses individual memories to create a rich social history of Australia from 1948 right through until now as Holden owners relive their stories.
The FJ Holden
Leading early Holden historian Don Loffler has unearthed an amazing collection of stories and facts about FJ variants, from the popular Special to the rarest of them all - an experimental station wagon - as well as non-factory versions in many guises. The FJ Holden is lavishly illustrated with more than 500 photographs, most of which have never been published before. The information section includes comprehensive identification details for FJs that you will not find assembled in any other place. The FJ Holden is Don Loffler's third book devoted to Australia's national car. His other Holden bestsellers, She's a beauty!, Still Holden Together and Me and My Holden, have been widely praised.
Cars We Used to Drive
In Cars We Used To Drive, Don Loffler, well-known Holden author, reveals his lifelong interest in all makes of cars on Australian roads in the years 1946 to 1966. Don Loffler has assembled a remarkable collection of 280 colour slides and black-and-white photographs of owners and their cars, from Austin to Zeta.
Uncle Champion I
Uncle Champion was created one evening in 1980 while the author was running past Jean Gordon Grammar School located along his usual training route in Gentilly. The story was originally named For the Love of Sara. The title was chosen from the authors favorite song at the time. The original Uncle Champion creation was actually a combination of Uncle Champion I and Uncle Champion IV, but to follow the journey and fully understand the story, II and III were added and I and IV were split into two separate stories. The story begins with our runner, Christopher Uncle who decided to start running as a form of exercise. He was raised by a very good mother and father who taught him to always help oth...
Still Holden Together
A loving book devoted to the original Holden model, the 48-215 sedan and the 50-2106 utility, commonly known as the FX model. It is gorgeously illustrated with over 320 photographs in color and black & white, and includes a wealth of new stories, history, and littleknown facts about Australia's first home-made car.
McLaren Vale
This social and cultural history concentrates on not only the food and drink of this part of Australia, but also its natural beauty, architecture, traditions and community. Local wines and a mixture of contemporary and historical recipes are included.
Symbols of Australia
But what do they actually mean? Where do they come from? Why are some symbols so hotly contested? Does Australia have more than its fair share? Symbols of Australia offers illuminating and unexpected insights into the symbols that surround us: from Uluru to the Australian flag, the rainbow serpent to Holden cars, the democracy sausage to the Great Barrier Reef. Entertaining, provocative, informative, and often surprising, Symbols of Australia reveals a great deal about the ways nations are imagined – and how they imagine themselves. Just when we most need it, a lively reassessment of the symbols that define us and their commercial and political exploitation. A mixture of scholarly ease and...
