F/R, 202 in³ (6 cyl. OHV), 253, 302, 350 in³ (V8 OHV). The Holden name was non-existent in the marketing domestically as it launched a new long-wheelbase sedan as its Australian flagship to rival Ford Fairlane. Appeared in majority of period price lists as Holden, though plenty of evidence that Statesman was a marque on its own (Holden repeated the confusion in later years with its Berlina, which lacked Commodore badges for many years but was always marketed as one; or the GTS, which lacked Monaro ones though brochures insisted it was part of that range). Suffers from poor handling as with other HQs due to American management, and rear doors and long-wheelbase platform shared with wagon, but well hidden thanks to distinctive styling. Sold as Chevrolet in some countries, and even as Chevrolet 350 when fitted with imported V8.
Marque: Holden/Statesman | Model: Holden Statesman | Predecessor: Holden Brougham (HG) | Successor: Holden Statesman (HJ)
