The original workshop for the Holden
Dealer Team (HDT) was located at 33-35 Queens Avenue in Hawthorn, Melbourne.
The building was demolished in June 2020 to make way for a commercial development.

The workshop was built in the 19th century as a Cobb & Co station. Harry Firth, a former Ford Australia factory team racer purchased the site in the early 1960s and ran the HDT from there until 1977. The workshop was home to the creation of
many iconic cars, including the Holden Torana LH SL/R 5000 L34, Holden Torana A9X, and XR GT Falcons.

In 1978, the workshop was transferred to a new location in Chetwynd Street, North Melbourne. The building in Hawthorn was sold in 2000 by lan Tate, who had taken over ownership after Firth's retirement. In 2019, developers purchased the site and plans were made to demolish the building and construct a six-story commercial/residential building.
