Holden HQ History

Holden HZ 1977-1979

GM-H released the Holden HZ series in October 1977. It was the forth and final version of the HQ body style. This model was fitted with the improved RTS (Radial Tuned Suspension). Springs and shock absorbers were up graded and the road wheels widened. Anti-roll bars were fitted to the rear suspension on all models and front anti roll bars upgraded.

The Belmont model from the previous HX range was deleted and a basic Kingswood version introduced specifically for fleet buyers.
