My LJ XU1 came from Russell Smith Holden, Cleveland Qld.

I couldn't see it on the list of dealer codes, or dealer stickers.

Does anyone have anything on this dealership? Thanks

I believe this is the current Oldmac Toyota yard. Oldmac has Holden at a different yard now.

Phil,
I got Russell Smith Holden at Queens Street Cleveland, existing before 1973 and after 1983, so OLDMAC does not gel on location or date, it started in 1982.
If anything PETER STEWART could have been the previous/post Holden dealership, so sorry not much to go on.

Cheers

The Dealership was originally started at Cleveland by Redlands Garage P/L (owner Gerald Moore) who had the GMH dealership at Redland Bay and transferred it to Cnr Doig and Russell Streets, Cleveland about 1967 . It was sold to Peter Stewart (who was a GMH employee at the time) around 1971 and became Peter Stewart Motors . Subsequently got into financial difficulties and was sold to Russell Smith who, with his father Clyde and brother Grant, ran the business until its closure around 1986. The GMC franchise is now located at Capalaba (Oldfield Holden) and the site at cleveland has since been redeveloped into commercial strip shopping.
