well i know it was a holden model cant remember which one.....
Holden!
The Holden name
Technicians continued to make minor technical modifications to the car, while General Motors-Holden's executives searched for a name for the new car.
After much deliberation, they decided on the 'Holden', in honour of Sir Edward Holden, the company's first chairman.
Other names considered were GeM, Austral, Melba, Woomerah, Boomerang, and Emu. The car narrowly avoided the name 'Canbra', a phonetic spelling of Canberra.

Good job billy your turn.
Yournuts based on my reading of Wikipedia, a completely 'reliable' source lol I too thought it was the make rather than model as the very first holden was simply called holden prior to the fx tag being added after some mods were made to the original release of the car....and I am the one who wrote the question lol

Ok then an easy 4 part question.

Where was it found?
What year was it discovered?
And what was it named?
Apologies in advance if this has already been asked and also if its too easy :/
