And grow they have, into a fourth generation family car business.

In 1923 David Ernst Lieschke opened the doors, becoming a Holden GM dealer a decade later.

His son, Cecil, took over in 1950 and has since seen his sons David, Anthony and Kim join him.

Anthony and Kim have taken the reins of the Walla dealership and now have the help of Anthony's son, Luke.

David runs the family's Holbrook dealership.

While Cecil has seen many changes to the motor industry in his time, none have been quite as big as the fall of Holden.

The family are the first to tell you they live and breathe the iconic Australian car brand, but with General Motors pulling the pin on manufacturing, it's left the family wondering what's next.

"You can take the boy out of a Holden, but you can't take Holden out of the boy," Cecil said.

"You have to think about it as football, meat pies, kangaroos and Holden cars, and you can't get much more Australian than that."

The Lieshkes will now be known as a Holden Servicing Agency for warranty work, while also still having the Nissan component of their business.

"We'll look at opportunities and what doors we can open," David said.

"You don't know what the future will bring, but we'll just keep plugging away."

The family has received an overwhelming amount of support from the community, with residents relying on the Lieshkes for generations.

The dealership's signage is set to come down at the end of the month after decorating Commercial Street for decades.

"We have a very loyal customer base, they don't want to see us close either," Kim said.

"The Holden logo, we're gutted, but it's not just about the Holden logo, it's about the people."

Residents have been taking photos out the front of dealership recently.

"It's amazing how the community rallies around," Anthony said.

He's also saddened for others attached to the Holden brand.

"It was good mentally to go away to a meeting and just to be with other guys that are going through the same thing," Anthony said.

"It was really good to bounce ideas off these people and sit down and chat to them.

"That network is gone, which is sad."

Believed to be one of the oldest Holden dealerships in the country, the Lieshkes have been recognised with awards on four separate occasions.

Metal tags left by original owner David have even been found on old Holden cars years after they were sold.

"It's amazing the amount of people now who are restoring cars and have our little tag on it," Anthony said.

"We still have all the records of when those cars were sold."

The third and fourth generations said it was a no-brainer to join the family business.

"We never thought of anything else," Anthony said.

"Holden is a very strong for our family obviously, but for Australia generally, it's just a piece of history.

"When one door closes, another one opens."
