Don Loffler has loved early Holdens ever since the first model, the 48-215, was introduced in 1948. He began to research the model in 1981 and when he retired from teaching in 1996, he decided to write his first book,
Shes a beauty! The story of the first Holdens NO Longer Available
The response to this book was overwhelming, enabling Don to assemble
Still
Holden together in 2000 NO Longer Available , a collection of new stories and information
about the first model Holden car and utility, with hundreds of photos that
have NEVER been published before.
Dons third book, The FJ Holden , appeared in 2002. Even more comprehensive than the first two books, it contains over 500 photographs on the iconic FJ model. NO Longer Available
Don lives in Adelaide, South Australia. His family ensure that his
enthusiasm for research and writing continues unabated.
To the surprise of many, Don Loffler is not the son of a Holden
dealer. He has never been a Holden factory employee, nor has he ever worked
in the motor trade. He is a former German, Latin and Chemistry teacher,
who in his retirement has the luxury of writing books on his lifetime interest
in early model Holden cars, their history and the social setting into which
they arrived. Don has five new books in various stages of development,
involving him in frequent Australia wide travel and research. 'If that's
retirement; he says, 'I can't get enough of it!'
