Six Decades Of Holden vs Ford 2018 Australian Automotive History Book D. Macley

"Six Decades of Holden Versus Ford - Family Cars, Family Feuds and Much More by Dave Macley, published by Hardie Grant Travel in 2018, explores one of Australia's most enduring and emotional rivalries — the battle between Holden and Ford. Drawing from six decades of automotive design, competition, and culture, Macley traces how these two brands came to dominate the Australian landscape, both on the road and in the national psyche. Through richly illustrated pages, the book recounts the evolution of family sedans, the rise of muscle cars like the Monaro and Falcon GT, and the motorsport wars that defined Bathurst and beyond.

More than just a car history, the work delves into how the Holden-Ford rivalry shaped Australian identity — from backyard mechanics and racing legends to generational loyalties passed from father to son. With anecdotes, model histories, and evocative photography, it captures the passion and nostalgia surrounding these once-mighty marques, particularly as Holden's local production came to a close. This book will strongly appeal to Australian motoring enthusiasts, Bathurst devotees, and collectors of automotive heritage alike."
