It was based on the mainstream Kingswood of the same years, but with a greatly lengthened rear body. The model was a hasty response to Ford's successful Fairlane. The boot was simply extended, rather than lenghtening the model's wheelbase. The Brougham followed the Kingswood's model cycles: the HK was launched in July 1968 with the new Monaro coupes (other HKs were launched in the previous January). The whole HT series was announced in July 1969 and the HG in August 1970 . Because of its luxury positioning, the Brougham was only available with an Automatic Transmission , first a two-speed, then a three-speed after the HG's launch. The only engine was a 307 in³/5.0 L capacity (actually Chevrolet 's 'small block') at launch. After the HT series in 1969, a Holden designed 308 in³ superseded it. The Brougham was replaced by the Holden Statesman in 1971. |
