Interestingly, while icons from the s were frequently revived by the Big Three, Holden went back further and brought out this wild concept inspired by its FJ of the s. However, while the lines were distinctly post-war, the technology under the skin was definitely rooted in the 21 st century. Unfortunately though, the point of the Efijy was to celebrate the 50 th anniversary of the FJ, which first went on sale in The basic exterior design may have been straight from the s, but there were plenty of 21 st century twists applied.

Yes, Holden had design capacity before then, but despite best local efforts the look of models like the iconic were usually dictated by the US. It was flat-out right up until the deadline date for delivery of its final jobs on June 30 this year. So this, then, is the time to consider the Holden heroes that emerged from Port Melbourne, visualised and brought to reality by generations of immensely talented and passionate people. One of them is Richard Ferlazzo, the final director of what became known in its final years as General Motors Australia Design. A gentleman in the true sense of the word, immensely talented in his own right, there could be no-one better to walk and talk us through the highlights of nearly 60 years of creativity.

While Efijy wowed all those who saw it, it is in all reality a show car of the sort that is unveiled at any motor show around the world, the difference in the case of the Holden eye-popper being that the body is a look back at the past instead of a glimpse of the future. Like the old Cadillac, the classic 50s Holden had the form that fitted the custom mould. From there, with the blessing of his bosses, he made a one-third scale model. That gave the three-dimensional shape and form that allowed him to refine it further before moving on to a full-size model that would be the launch pad to reality. As with all cars created within a design studio, the full-sized clay is the crucial point in the project where the details of the final shape are worked out. Built on a steel bed the core of the clay, the armature, is constructed from foam and roughly cut to shape before the clay is laid on and carefully moulded exactly to the final shape.

The Corvette which provided a basis for the Efijy had to have its chassis lengthened to the point where the concept was a full 70cm longer than the original FJ production car. Deals Forum. One of the neatest touches though was the absence of any door handles; a proximity sensor could tell when the owner was approaching. I still can't believe the fact these are so hard to come across given isn't exactly that limited. Frazer Tickford Metro. Holden Efijy Pic: Holden click image to enlarge.
