HR Holden (1966-1968)

The HR Holden was rumoured to have been rushed out due to criticism of the previous models "pointy" fin front-end however historians have pointed out that the design was in fact done years before. There were minor changes made to the front panels, subtle changes to the roofline and rear window and additional lights in the grill.

Importantly it got a widened track and options for disk brakes and power steering to address the criticism of the handling of the previous model. As a result, the HR sold very well.

Total number produced: 252,352

Domestic: 228,542

Export: 7,723

CKD: 16,087
