Holden was started by Henry Holden (father) and Edward Holden (son) in
Adelaide in 1917 to build vehicle bodies. Edward was born in Adelaide, but
I have no idea where Henry was born.
GM started a company in Melbourne in 1926 building cars using bodies
supplied by Holden. The two companies merged in 1930 to form General
Motors - Holden.
A lot of spurious information and I stil have not answered your question.
