HR Holden.

Description

The Holden HR was a range of cars produced by General Motors-Holden's in Australia from 1966 to 1968. The Holden HR range was released in April 1966, replacing the Holden HD series which had been in production since 1965. In additional to a revised grille, the HR featured a reworked roofline and larger rear window (on the sedans), revised rear lights (on sedans and wagons) and changes to almost all exterior body panel.
