Random # 317: HR Holden Special
This HR sedan is just perfect! Seriously, it is a study in good taste and restraint, having absolutely nailed the balance between originality, sympathetic restoration and era-appropriate modification.
The classic 1960s' Holden paint scheme is immaculate, as are the bright work and interior. The "jelly bean" wheels are bang-on, the wood-rimmed steering wheel couldn't have been better chosen, and the floor-change shifter and front discs (usually Premier-only?) hint at subtle upgrades that speak to the quality and usability of the car's upgrades.
Did you know that UMPH also features cars from all around Australia? Recent examples have included a sinister-looking C2 Corvette Sting Ray (https://uppermiddlepetrolhead.blogspot.com/2022/06/from-seqc-circa-1963-c2-corvette.html), an EK ute (https://uppermiddlepetrolhead.blogspot.com/2022/05/from-canberra-correspondent-ek-holden.html) and even an amazing Maserati Sebring (https://uppermiddlepetrolhead.blogspot.com/2022/04/from-auto-italia-2022-circa-1967.html).
So why not do a Molly Meldrum and check them out? Even better, consider following Upper Middle Petrol Head on Facebook or via their 'blogsite (uppermiddlepetrolhead.blogspot.com.au).
And please, please share with your friends! UMPH is free to read, doesn't feature advertising but is all about classic, sports and performance cars!
