I rang GMH up years ago,asking about Dealer Numbers and they said they dont discuss them or give them out,So maybe they have the Old Dealer List,but just not telling us. ??????????????????
I told them i wanted to find Lesky Motors Dealer Number out,But they would not tell me,So i Rang Lesky Motors up my self,and they told me,and ya wouldent Believe it there a Guy still working there still from 1972.
GMH must have a Archive of old stuff,cause how these old Pics turn up in Books,Mags Etc and in the Book or Mag it says,Pic from GMH Archives.
They Just not Like saying or telling us i Guess,But it is there Stuff,Maybe one Day they will release pics and stuff that we have never seen.

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.
you forgot to put 617 in. as its Pat Cullens Garage 324 to 360 hume highway Liverpool NSW
and yes thats were my car came from....

hi josh..i have reseached pat cullens garage dealer 617Holden just told me my Kingswood was sold originally from Pat Culens Motors.. They still around?... or the building still around?
Edit: They are now Liverpool City Motors
hears what i said earlier about them
dealer 616 and dealer 617 both are trading at liverpool in the 70s..back then liverpool and surrounding areas were full of market gardens and 2 huge holden dealerships..A.C. mcgrath (616) located at the corner of the Hume highway and boundary rd Liverpool..A.C. Mcgrath are still trading on the same site today,
Pat Cullens garage (617) located at 324 to360 Hume Highway Liverpool and traded up till early 1991..In 1991 A.C. Mcgrath(616) then bought Pat Cullens Garage(617) for a undisclosed sum That merging created the Mcgrath Motor group that now stands over both sites...Mcgraths new dealer number is 544..Pat Cullen is now dead but he wanted his son Peter to take over the business,But when Peter turned his back on the offer Pat sold to Mcgraths, I gleened all this info out of a Gentlemen called Sam Ferraro who still works at Mcgraths today,Sam also worked for both A.C.Mcgraths (616) and Pat Cullens (617) and he also worked at Ron Hodgsons Holden Cabramatta(036)..In 70s/80s Sam reports that Hodgsons was the biggest Holden Dealership in N.S.W.But they went bust and Sam moved to Pat Cullens (617) Sam then went to A.C.Mcgaths (616) and was there when A.C.Mcgraths Bought out Pat Cullen(617)..This is Sam Ferraro:s entire working Life and he is still selling holdens and making a living at McGraths at Liverpool(544)!!!! The "blurb" on the shannons site is wrong and (025 J.A.Gilbert waitara) is someone other than Pat Cullens Garage(617) as the Mcgrath Motor group was very helpfull to me when i started to talk about tracking motor history down .. They put me in touch with Sam Ferraro who in turn has put up with me asking all these questions and i have no doubt about what Sam has informed to me..
Cheers johno

Dealer code 310 should be Watsons of Greensborough (new cars) Pty Ltd 108 Main St Greensborough VIC 3083 Ph 43 2225
I have the original sales reciept with a car I bought and it shows they paid $2997.29 for the car (LC "S" 173 auto), $30 stamp duty, - $921.82 for trade in on 1965 Holden EH Sedan. Sold by Ken Esnouf on the 9/9/71.
Wonder if the dealership is still open? Would be interesting to take a visit with the car.

Ah Cheers meanmachine.. My grandparents bought my Kingswood second hand in 1979 from Les Vagg Motors at Pennant Hills... My Grandparents told me it was a Business car before they bought it. I assumed that it was sold new from Les Vagg as well.. Seeing as Les Vagg is the next dealership number after Pat Cullens i am tempted to get Holden to double check this..

He has only been operating since late 80`s prior to that the site was a Zupps and he may have taken on that dealer code.

Got a copy of a 2001 dealer conference list the other day with 38 dealer names and codes through out Australia.Checked the list we have on here and ticked off 13 that are on the list.I know from the 70s to 2001 there would be differents.But would it be worth posting the list up.Also hopefuly will be getting more dealer codes in the near future.

I would say yes go for it !But would it be worth posting the list up
We must remember and its probably been covered before that if a dealer sells up the code usually changes,
Would be nice to have a date range with all codes but probably near impossibly to know this info.
I can add one
I have it from good authority that dealer 784 has been operating from the same site for 30 to 40 years
CLIFTON MOTORS , Macalister Street , MURGON , QLD dealer 784

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.

Hi everybody i have a few more dealer no's to add to the list,they are as follows
692 Lock Motors 419 Magill road St Morris. S.A. Defunct after june 1972.
688 Coventry Motors cnr Morphett & Gouger st adelaide (later moved to South road Edwardstown mid-late 1971)
676 E.H.Hage Tanunda S.A.
675 Beck Motors Streaky Bay S.A. (later relocated to Ceduna)
653 Reeves Garage Mc Laren Vale S.A.
151 United Motors Ltd 72 Franklin st Adelaide S.A.
Now for a few corrections to some dealer no's that i know for a fact that are incorrect
908 is in fact B & C Motors (British & Continental Motors) in Mackay QLD not John Sivyer at Mooraka.
894 is John Sivyer 1060 Ipswich road Mooraka (formerly Arnold Degen Pty Ltd) who traded at the same
address & the same account no.was retained by John Sivyer. (the change over of name occurred during early mid 1970.)
865 is in fact Boyded 236-240 South Tce Bankstown NSW It is not Metro Motors Morley W.A.
I will try to post more dealer no's up when time permits

Hi GRUMPY73
Thanks for the update and additions.
Lock Motors (692) is listed in the LC and LJ Owners Manuals as being located at 419 Magill Rd Kensington Gardens. I presume these suburbs are one and the same?
On my 2005 list of Holden dealers, Metro Motors of Morley WA is currently dealer 865. Significantly, both Morley and Boyded are listed in the 1972 Owner's Manual - but they couldn't both be number 865.
Despite our efforts in asking for sources for these numbers - I believe that quite a few of the dealers on the forum list are current dealers who may not have always been operating in the early '70s.
Cheers

Hello Bazza
You are 100% correct St.Morris & Kensington Gardens are both the same suburb as they both have the same post code which is 5068
It just depended on which side of the road that you stood on as to what you called the suburb. One for the have's & one for the have not's.
R.E. Dealer code 865, I will let you into a little secret if you check through the pagewood & acacia ridge LC production records that you see on the vin disc you will see Dlr 865 is a zone 2 dealer not a zone 5 dealer.All NSW dealers are zone 2 & Perth are zone 5,plus I have sighted
paperwork from a Boyded delivered car & checked against the disc, so i have had an unfair advantage in knowing this.Boyded were around for
donkey's years before the torana's were released.I know that their no. 865 throws a spanner in the works as it is smack bang right in the middle of a range of perth dealer codes.A good example of this happening is No.871 which is William Bros Ballina. which also is a NSW dealer
also No.863 Hardes Auto House Taree NSW.In essence only Adelaide produced cars were shipped into perth only a very occasional odd car
from Acacia ridge made it over to perth and i would say it would be less than 50 cars made their way to perth from the Qld plant during LC-LJ
producction.Boyded's during the late 90's amalgamated with 5 other of the largest gm dealers in nsw to form one company which gave them
total maket control and hence their dealer no became void.Metro Motors at some stage has had a restructure and has 865 allocated to them.
I have a fair idea of what metro's original no was ,but need to confirm as i have most of WA dealers worked out from the late 60's till the mid 80's. I hope this is of some help to you.

You are 100% correct St.Morris & Kensington Gardens are both the same suburb as they both have the same post code which is 5068
It just depended on which side of the road that you stood on as to what you called the suburb. One for the have's & one for the have not's.

Hi GRUMPY73
It sounds like we are on the same page. I have never had any doubts about Boyded being 865. It really does become problematic when people (in good faith) cite current codes.
