My dad had a HR in 1972. EDY 445. A station wagon. I got one in about 1972 and it was amazing! I’d love one now. I now live in the Uk in Newcastle upon Tyne. There’s a guy around here with a HD station wagon with a 149 in it. I’ve not managed to get him to pull over yet,but I will. Sweet cars!

Well done fella's, good old car you have there, fun to play with and enjoy the cruising. You can open the front door and hide a bottle of favorite beverage on the door hinge too if you ever need to sneak one in somewhere like the old days. Still plenty of parts around for HR"S feck i still have some loitering around. Stay safe and enjoy.

Good one guys a Pyrenees Blue with Samoan Tan interior, beautiful. I remember my Uncle buying one new in 1967 a Savonnah Bronze Metallic with Bone interior and he treated it like a baby.

I don't know much about Australian automotive history other than your fondness for utes! This is a great looking little car! I like the style of the front wheel arches, they don't look anything like their American GM relatives. Maybe a bit like early '60s Buick or reversed Chevrolet from the same era. You seem like a great bunch of guys, I didn't see any classic cars at my wedding! I'm happy to be a new subscriber. Oh, I must add that Australia has produced the best hotrod song of all time, 6L GTR by The Chats!!
