1980 WB Holden

The WB model was released with the line-up to consisting of the Ute, Panel Van, Statesman Deville and Statesman Caprice.

The intro of Radial Tuned Suspension increased popularity with the HZ.

The extension of the roofline in the WB Statesman by 3 inches, improved the leg-room for rear seat passengers, with better head-room and even more boot space – even though the WB Statesman wheelbase was shorter than the HZ Statesman.

Minor revisions to the popular 5 litre 308  V8 and the equipment list now included the first cruise control fitted to a local car as standard, along with power windows, central locking, high-end audio system and leather upholstery.
