This great image of an EH wagon on the beach at Anglesea, Victoria, was photographed for a GMH advertisement in 1964.
Heralded as the most dramatic new model since the 48-215 (which was unofficially known as the FX Holden), the hugely popular EH Holden became the fastest-selling Australian car ever. During just 18 months of manufacture, buyers snapped up a record 256,959 units.
Produced under license from General Motors Holden Australia NSC Ltd.
Available as an archival quality reproduction in 9 standard metric sizes in the following formats: an unframed print; a framed print; a stretched canvas; a canvas floating frame. Frames are available in white, natural oak, chocolate oak and black sustainable timber.

UNFRAMED PRINTS - This option is for you if you've fallen in love with one of our restored images and you've got the perfect frame or you know where to source one.
- We print soon after we receive an order and we don't muck around with quality. We print on 230gsm acid-free, wood-free, pH-neutral, archival matte paper using premium archival pigment inks. In a nutshell, the paper is top notch and the high-level digital printing results in superior colour saturation.
- The dimensions we quote is the actual paper size and so our 9 sizes fit standard metric frames, eg. an A3 print will fit a standard A3 frame.
- All prints include an off-white printed border that sits between the image and the edge of the paper. We think it looks fabulous and mimics a mat board but without the expense. If you really don't want a border let us know in the Notes section at checkout.
Off-white printed border widths:
A4 - 10mm; A3 - 15mm; A2 - 21mm; B2 - 25mm; A1 - 30mm; B1 - 35mm; A0 - 42mm; B0 - 50mm; 2A0 - 59mm. - When it comes time to ship we take great care with packaging because we've learned over the years that the freight process can be a little rough!
- We ship unframed prints internationally excluding our largest 2A0 size..

- We print as per Unframed Prints above and then ask our framer to frame in your choice of white, natural oak, chocolate oak or black sustainable timber.
- Timber frames are 20mm wide and overlap the outer 5mm of the paper on all sides. The depth of the frame is 30mm (ie. the dimension of the frame from the wall to the front of the print).
Please Note: Framing profiles will change occasionally due to multiple factors. If you are a return customer wanting to match a previous framed print order please check the dimensions above and contact us if need be. -

Stretched Canvas orders must be received by November 20th for pre-Christmas delivery.
STRETCHED CANVAS - This option is for you if you prefer a textured image without a frame.
- We print on Bauhaus bright white canvas 380gsm which has a superior bright white matte surface with perfect colour control and clear texture.
- The canvas is a cotton/polyester blend. Polyester is added to give greater tension across the image so it doesn’t sag over time.
- The printed canvas is then stretched onto a pine stretcher bar which is strong, durable and from planted forests so environmentally friendly.
- All finishing materials used are museum grade and acid free.
- Our framer will dispatch direct to you in professional packaging.
- We do not ship stretched canvas prints outside Australia.

Canvas Floating Frame orders must be received by November 20th for pre-Christmas delivery.
CANVAS FLOATING FRAMES - This option is for you if you prefer a textured image with a frame.
- We print as per Stretched Canvas above and our professional framer then frames with a 5mm gap between the canvas and frame.
- This contemporary, popular style gives the illusion that your canvas picture is actually “floating” within the frame as the picture sits away from the frame instead of the edge of the picture disappearing behind the frame itself (as it does with standard print framing).
- Frames measure 10mm on the face and 45mm on the side.
- Frame colours: White, natural oak, dark oak and black sustainable timber.
- Frames are delivered ready to hang.
- Our framer will dispatch direct to you in professional packaging.
- We do not ship framed canvas prints outside Australia.
- Retro Print Merchants is proudly Australian owned and operated and all our prints are officially endorsed by the Australian Made Campaign.
- All artworks are professionally printed and professionally framed here in Australia by local suppliers who are as pedantic about quality as we are.
- We ran a successful graphic design company for 20 years so we know a thing or two about image quality. If we can't restore an image to the quality necessary to enlarge it then we won't add it to the collection.
- We understand our customers and we respect them. We will treat you the way we would like to be treated.
- We aim to provide quality prints and canvas art at a reasonable price so that people from all walks of life can enjoy these wonderful vintage images in their own homes.
- We're not out to build an empire nor have the most instagram likes. We just want to keep doing what we have loved doing for a number of years, do it better than a number of others in this industry and continue to be proud of our achievements.
