HQ Holden Kingswood Was a Highpoint in Australian Car Design and Engineering
It wasn’t till 1971 that GM-H in Australia went to extreme measures to radically design and manufacture what has turned out to be Australia’s most popular car ever built. Australia’s car buying public embraced this new HQ design concept from 1971 to 1974 and its’ amazing popularity over 3 years of production, has turned it into a real Australian “icon”.
The release of the HQ Holden became a determining point in establishing the GM-H brand in Australia as a dominant force in motor vehicle manufacturing, not just locally, but globally with 41,181 HQ’s exported overseas during 1973.
