HEART OF GLASS

-

I BELIEVE I have found the original full fibreglass HQ Brougham/statesman model (left) built by GM-H circa ’69. I was wondering if you could find out anything more on it from the legend Leo Pruneau, or at least make him aware of this unique piece of Holden history? Appreciate any help or informatio­n. Greg Beevers, email GM-H definitely built these as part of the design process, though it’s very uncommon for them to escape the design department. There’s a fibreglass VN Calais in the National Motor Museum that is outwardly indistingu­ishable from the production version, until you poke your head under and see it’s made of wood and lies. – Dave Carey
