Upper Middle Petrol Head:

Was the EH a turning point in the evolution of Holden?  It certainly was a departure from some of their earlier cars, ditching the rounded lines of the "FX" (48-215) and FJ through to the FE and FC, as well as moving beyond the fifties' tail-fins of the FB and EK. And even though it was an evolution of the EJ, its squarer overall look was significantly more modern and, arguably, attractive.  What's more, the EH saw the introduction of the "red" motor which was Holden's first major upgrade over the "grey" donk that powered all their previous cars.   Somehow, the EH's successor, the HD of 1965-66, never had the same following.  It wasn't until the very popular HR - an update of the HD in the same way that the EH followed the EJ - came along that the public really embraced Holden's six-cylinder offering again.  It's arguable that the HR was also a milestone car for Australia's GM arm.
