Hi all new member here and grandson of the late tommy Burton . All true what was said as Tommy did make the first tow bar for the old fleet and gave the rights to General Motors to mass produce them as a option . The family still has that pic and others of he and nans trips . Mostly up to the Murray where he often pulled 70 - 100 pound cod out of he small timber boat . To this day I still have his tea tree rods and a immaculate seagull motor . Tommy was a great man who loved his vannin 👍

Burton was one of the first, if not the first, to fit a towbar to a Holden. Photograph most likely taken in 1949.(Source: Don Loffler, She's a Beauty [Enlarged and revised edition]. Wakefield Press, 2006. P 238)IF this car was the first Holden to be fitted with a towbar and IF the caravan in the pic was the first van towed by this car, then the first caravan to be towed by a Holden was a...Don... SHUT UP MY MOUTH Nobody will believe me, but my main interest in posting this pic was what it tells us about the history of 48-215's being used for towing. True dinks. Ricardo Hi all new member and Tommy Burton’s grandson . All is true here in what you say . He did make the first tow bar for the early Holden and gave the pattern to General Motors to sell as a option . Cool grandad was Tommy G0bcMLH6Zd0kck4EtUAlddSspnZKIRzQ
