If we had the correct dealer number for Dillon's, we could place it on list. You say your brother in law worked there so he may know it's dealer number.
I asked and he doesn't know, it was about 35yrs ago.
More info:
Dillon's of Ivanhoe, "The cheeky little Holden dealer" was their slogan.

I have looked through the building and didn't see any reference to a dealer number. (it is now a pet shop)

But I did find a contact that may know the dealer number?
A gentleman in his late 70's, but I haven't spoken to him yet, just his son.


I eventually contacted a salesman that worked there through the seventies.
(This salesman also happens to be a forum members uncle) :huh:
Neither he, or his wife (she worked in the office) could remember the dealer code. :cry:

I did find out however, that this dealer used to do their own performance mods to their demo cars. (Air cleaners and exhausts mainly)

Bruce Nowacki worked there as well prior to HDT

hi Pual

the old J.A Gilbert of waitara site 025 was sold to suttons in about 1989..suttons were then issued with a new dealer number 574..i think this info should be treated the same way as Les Vagg 616 (now barry smith holden 300) that way we can see old numbers to new numbers when dealerships were sold..

cheers johnno

Ok so if I have this right now.
code 574 was Suttons after 1989 but it was someone else before that. ( I guess that is the case as number 574 is the number listed as a 72 HQ SS's dealer code.)
Thanks Jonno.

This then would be the same for 822 Kevin James motors which in 1978 became Brian Gardner Holden with the same address and dealer code 1308 Albany highway Cannington.

Just looking through my HQ owners manuals I actually noticed a couple of differences between the Sept 71 and December 72 ones I own.
In the WA country dealers section Dampier is there on the 71 book and it is gone on the 72 one and the opposite happened with
Wyalkatchem it is not there in 71 but it is there in 72.

So just in one year in WA one dealer opened and one dealer closed so I can understand how hard it is to keep track of these dealer codes.


Thanks to you too Bazza for clearing the 457 code up too.
So it should read as.
457 Massey's 330 (later 377) Williamstown Rd Yarraville Vic

wot 179 what type of car do you want the details for.
Cheers Paul.

This is the current dealer list that has been built from the fantastic input from this forum. From various conversations that I have had with the current Holden Co, no records of the "old Holden dealers" exist today so we have to build our own list. As we know, dealer numbers change over the years so some dealers are listed with the same number. Please feel free to question any dealer listings on this list as this list is a work in progess. If there is anyone out there that can add to this list, please do as there are many dealer numbers still unaccounted for.

Unfortunately the owners manuals do not have the dealer codes in them at all, just the dealers names and locations.
The service books, from the couple I have have more details of the car itself in them (if they have been fully filled out that is)
than the owners manuals.
From the vin on the HT all I could tell was if it was a Belmont, Kingswood etc and which plant it was made at.
HQ's are my main field of research, but that as also spread to date codes on what ever parts I can find them on.
I do not need the work at the moment but a list of known dealer names and locations with dates maybe something worth
looking in to in the future.

gtrtorana great job you are doing here mate, thanks for posting the updated list as it all come together.
Cheers Paul.
