Australia - An Ode To The Last Australian Fords And Holdens Poem by Paul Warren

We are coming to the end
Of Australian Fords and Holdens
We now you can have an American Ford Mustang
And will have Chevrolets on our roads again

I remember my father telling of driving 1930's cars then
Without an Australian motor industry until the 1940's end
When the first Holden came off the SA and Victorian line
That was for Australia a golden manufacturing time

So those who drove those Australian cars to glory
Peter Brock and Alan Moffat are now history
They will always be remembered for the Bathurst race
And the old video will be left in their place.
