The hk Brougham came out in 1968 with a 307 chev engine only, and had a ridiculous long speedo, the Hg 70,71 Ht 69,70 models had round instrument clusters. The HG had a number of engine options 186 253 308 and 350 chev. The HT Brougham either had a 307 or 308 engine, all Broughams had the same wheelbase as the Kingswood or premier, they just stretched the boot out 8 inches. The hq statesman was built on the station wagon chassis hense they had more room
The Brougham wheelbase was no longer than the basic sedans, GMH only added the extra inches to the Broughams boot, to make it look more exclusive, this was a cheaper method than Ford Fairlanes longer wheelbase. The public weren't fooled and bought Fairlanes instead ! When the new Statesman came out, it was built on the HQ wagons longer wheelbase, thus, sales improved.
Hi mate, I have a ‘71 LTD coupe like that one, mines a 429. I have hinges and a solid bonnet if you need them. If you want a stock grille for a ‘72 I have them too. Great video.
As you could probably tell. Neither did I. As you might’ve heard, I was angling to find out what crossover there was from the US Brougham. I’ll dig deeper on my next visit.

Another great video! All gorgeous cars, but those Holden Broughams…❤

Back soon to see Leo. He promises to have a few more interesting cars to show me.
That ESP mockup looks good👍. I see a ZL in the background too
I love it. In the flesh it’s even better.
Brougham's don't get enough love.
Must be the woefully inadequate rear leg space.

I’ll pass it on to Leo. Thanks

Very interesting, as I have next to zero knowledge about these Aussie classics: I had no idea what the Holden Brougham was!

Brougham were a precursor to the Holden Statesman in either DeVille or higher spec Caprice.
And I'm a true Blue Ford guy !😉😊
Great Video !
