The first use of the term 'Holden Ambulance' appears to originate from the book 'JEEPS over the Pacific' by Yasuo Ohtsuka and Darcy Miller, published 1994.
At the start of the chapter on ambulance jeeps, page 20 states that of the many jeep ambulances the only mass-produced conversion by an auto manufacturer was General Motors Holden Co of Melbourne, Australia who contracted with the US Marine Corps.
It also mentions 'In this book we will call them the "HOLDEN AMBULANCE".
