Description
The EJ Holden, announced in July 1962, ushered in a new era of modernity for Australia’s Own Car. Gone were the boxy upright lines of its FB/EK series predecessors in favour of a lower, sleeker Chevrolet-inspired streamline. The last vestiges of separate front and rear wings were gone, replaced by a full-width grille, greater glass area and more interior space. The cabin architecture of the EJ was also new, with rubber padding on the fascia and a larger glovebox. Mechanically, the EJ remained much as before, retaining the trusty ‘grey’ motor with a choice of either three-speed manual or Hydra-matic automatic transmission. Twin-servo brakes were a useful new safety feature, along with seat belt mounts and stronger front suspension. The boot was larger and the spare wheel better located. Expanding the model range, Holden developed a more luxurious Premier variant with leather upholstery, front bucket seats, Mercedes-like white steering wheel, heater, centre console, armrests, chromed wheel trims and bonnet ornament, gold/red badges on the boot lid and front guards along with whitewall tyres: it was the height of fashion for 1962! The EJ built on the success of previous models and the 1,000,000th Holden – a Euroa Gold Premier – seemed a fitting milestone achieved during its production run.History
• Most appealing paint and trim combination• Believed to be the three owners since new
This well loved EJ Special has been with the current owner for 20 years and was affectionatly named ‘Pinky’.
Originally ‘Pinky’ was used a daily driver up until approximately 10 years ago when she was retired in favour of a more child friendly vehicle and has unfortunately seen seldom use since then, Mainly living under a cover in the garage and being used only occasionally.
With its striking colour combination it is sure to be a head turner whatever the intended use is, the interior shows very little wear and the exterior presents especially well for a vehicle of this era.
This vehicle is currently registered on QLD club registration however will be sold unregistered.
