Holden Efijy Concept Car











Holden, GM's subsidiary in the Land Down Under, has produced the firstconcept car that would be a legitimate contender for Best in Show at anyof the big car shows. That's right, this is not a Chip Foose car, BoydCoddington had nothing to do with it, and So-Cal Speed Shop knowsnothing about it. It was designed and built entirely in-house at GMHolden's Australian design studio and engineering department. Called theEfijy (as in "burned in effigy"), the car is an homage to the classicHolden FJ built between 1953 and 1956. Not familiar with the FJ? It'sAustralia's icon car the way a '55 Chevy is here. As Holden ChiefDesigner Richard Ferlazzo says, "In Australia, nearly everyone had one,rode in one, or was conceived in one." The FJ had links to late '40sChevys, and was actually designed in the U.S.
