EH Holden

One of the best-loved Holdens and the fastest-selling Australian car ever (250,000 in 18 months). Clever “Power Swept” styling incorporated a new roofline and there were, major rear end changes. Powered by two versions of a completely new “red” engine, the 149 and 179. With 7-bearing crankshafts, hydraulic valve lifters, external oil pump and new piston and head design, they delivered 33 per cent and 53 per cent more power respectively and improved fuel economy. Offered optional factory-fitted power steering for the first time. Introduced the Premier station wagon. Unbeatable value for money at the same price as the EJ and cheaper than mid-50s Holdens.
