HOLDEN HQ MONARO

SALAMANCA RED WITH BLACK STRIPES

-

When the two door Monaro GTS was released to the Australian motoring public in July 1971 it proved incredibly popular, the fourth all new Holden body produced in ten years. With the confidence of almost a quarter of a million of the HQ range already on the road, Holden released the four door GTS version in April 1973. The monocoque constructi­on and all new four-wheel coil spring suspension provided superior ride and handling and delivered a smoother, safer, more elegant car than any previous Holden. The HQ was the largest selling model range to date for Holden and would ensure Holden’s title of Australia’s number one car manufactur­er.
