haha, i was making more of a comment on the shape. the nose looks similar. my 70s memories are a bit hazy.. i only knew the cars in the 80s.

[Jamesnov1970]

Ok fair enough :)

[JuzzyProX]

This was and is the greatest car

Personally I'm a FORD man. But the HQ Holden Kingswood, Monaro and Sandman was by far the best looking range of cars that Holden rolled off its assembley line. A true blue Australian engineering masterpiece.

Why the bloody hell did they park their car in a waterfall? Some people just make no sense.

Met a man during my Census duties who has a 1974 HQ Premier with only 70000km on the clock. It is a beautiful vehicle, apparantly his grandkids are arguing over who is going to get it when he passes. Only now the only thing wrong with it is the paint is starting to show signs of wear and tear.

I always park my cars underneath waterfalls, do you? :)

@fordlandau I kind of thought the rear end looked like a Chevy Impala.

[shaftkilla]

holden had a perfectly good holden kingswood, premier, monaro and statesman, but they replaced them with the piece of shit holden commodores.

When I was a little kid, our next door neighbours has one of these. Great looking car, but whenever I got a lift in it, it rolled so much it made me seasick! That's little kids for you! Thanks for posting a great memory.

Jamesnov1970 I am old enough to have owned and driven both of those cars, my first car was an HQ 202 with a traumatic box and LSD a real race car!!!! NOT. Sold it and got a torana with an L34 spec 308 in a 4 door, not genuine SLR. They are nowhere near the same size.

@GanGoz  The SLR 5000 comes very close

@wikwak67 well you would rattle too when you get old :P
