The Holden HK series is an automobile which was produced by Holden in Australia from 1968 to 1969. Introduced in January 1968,[2] the HK range progressively replaced the Holden HR series which had been in production since 1966. HK models were both larger and heavier than their predecessors and the range would ultimately include thirteen different models against the eight in the HR range. The Holden HK was marketed under Belmont, Kingswood, Premier, Brougham and Monaro model names.
Model range
The HK series was initially offered in three trim levels, each available in four-door sedan and five-door station wagon body styles. Sedans and wagons were marketed as sedans and station sedans respectively.[3]
The Belmont and Kingswood model names were new for the HK series, replacing the Standard and Special names which had been used by Holden since 1953. The Premier nameplate was retained for the top-of-the-line model, which now featured four headlights and a unique roofline to differentiate it further from its lesser siblings.
