Among the highly-collectible classics is a four-door SLR 5000 A9X and a Torana LJ GTR XU-1, the latter attracting an avalanche of public interest when displayed in the foyer of RACQ House in the Brisbane CBD recently.“I couldn’t get a start until I turned 21, but that didn’t stop me from making myself known,” he recalled.Why? Some went to Volvo.’’He said the closure also took a huge toll on Acacia Ridge’s shops, small traders and community networks "because most of the people who worked there, lived here and shopped here’’.‘‘There are not many car places left anymore, because they’re all coming from overseas.’’She said the closure was hurtful.More than 1000 people, including Mr Fletcher, lost their jobs and a $20 million investment in southeast Queensland was gone.Mr Fletcher warned the workers to use their redundancy money well.
1964 Property purchased at Acacia Ridge for an assembly plant to replace the Wickham St facility. When the Acacia Ridge factory shut down, ... Noel Fletcher with an old copy of the Acacia Ridge Holden factory's newsletter, the Gemini Newsflash. Noel Fletcher at the Acacia Ridge Holden factory before its closure. In his working life, ‘lightning’ has struck not once, not twice, but three times.“I took over from there.”“Man, could he drive – so much natural ability.”“I was there for more than 27 years and loved working there; I didn’t expect to be out of work.” A pretty cool experience, I was sent to an address in acacia ridge to do a job and when I rocked up it had me asking, " could this be where dad's car was born". The other suggestion was Adelaide Replacement. The boom was ending.Holden remains part of Acacia Ridge's psyche.Ivor Smith, from nearby Algester, was also employed at the plant, working on the ‘‘motor line’’ for 13 years and using a forklift to ‘‘put the parts on the line’’.‘‘We didn’t know where we were going to finish up,’’ he said.‘‘They would just stand around and look over there, because they couldn’t believe it.’’Mr Fletcher and Mr Smith had messages for the South Australian workers who were told this week they would lose their jobs.Mr Fletcher said he had been a leading hand at the suburb's plant, having worked his way up from ‘‘rivetting bumper bars’’.Its streets still bear the names of some of Holden’s best-known vehicles.In the 1970s General Motors Holden employed 23,000 people at 12 locations around the country and put together 168,000 Holdens a year.It assembled cars at plants at Pagewood in New South Wales, Elizabeth in South Australia, Dandenong in Victoria and Acacia Ridge in Queensland.‘‘They were like a big family, especially the ones that had come from the Valley.’’There is Statesman Crescent, Holden Drive, Calais Close, Commodore Street, Camira Street, and a Kingswood Street.Pagewood closed in 1981.
