During Friday\u2019s Breaking @ 8 segment Penbo said the move was the \u201cultimate insult\u201d:<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t actually believe General Motors are doing this\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cApparently General Motors is sending out an American archivist who is coming out with the clipboard to rifle through all the special collections of Holden cars, special models and prototypes, and also Holden memorabilia that are housed both in Melbourne at Fishermans Bend and also here in Elizabeth.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo some bloody archivist from Detroit has come over here thinking, well, as part of our closure of Holden we\u2019re going to go through what they regard as their intellectual property with a view to taking it back to the United States\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cThat would really be the ultimate insult when you consider all of the Australian creativity and thought and effort that went into the development of so many different vehicles, the crafting of advertising campaigns — if that ends up in a museum in Detroit\u2026 this would be our Elgin Marbles<\/a> moment if this were to happen\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is part of our cultural heritage and Detroit should keep their dirty hands off of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
