Thank you for this great article on the HD Holden. This was the first brand new car my father bought in 1966. He bought it to be used as a taxi and it was the bare bones basic manual model. I borrowed it to take my future wife on our first date. She thought I was a millionaire! The HD didn’t handle very well and brakes were dismal, but we still enjoyed it. I used to drive it as a taxi on Sundays but one night the rear axle came adrift and needed a tow home. Dad was not impressed. 😊
