Everything about The Holden Brougham totally explained
The
Holden Brougham was a large luxuriously equipped
automobile made by
General Motors–
Holden's Ltd. of
Australia between July 1968 and 1971.
It was based on the mainstream
Premier of the same years, but with a greatly lengthened rear body. The model was a hasty response to Ford's successful Fairlane. The boot was simply extended, rather than lengthening the model's wheelbase. The Premier's 4-headlight grille was also kept.
The Brougham followed the Kingswood's model cycles: the
HK series was launched in July 1968 with the new
Monaro coupes (other HKs were launched in the previous January). The whole
HT series was announced in July 1969 and the
HG series in August 1970.
Because of its luxury positioning, the Brougham was only available with an
automatic transmission, first a two-speed, then a three-speed after the HG's launch.
The only engine was a 307 in³/5.0 L capacity (actually
Chevrolet's 'small block') at launch. After the HT series in 1969, a Holden designed 308 in³ superseded it.
Throughout its production life the
Ford Fairlane outsold it by a large margin. The Brougham was replaced by the long-wheelbase
Statesman models in 1971, on the redesigned HQ platform.
