The Holden HR is an automobile that was produced by Holden in Australia from 1966 to 1968.
The HR commercial vehicle range was offered in two-door coupe utility and two-door panel van variants, marketed as follows:
A lower compression (8.2:1) version of the six was also available.
The and later Chevrolet six-cylinder engine was fitted for the South African market. This longer engine required the firewall to be scalloped out. This availability began partway through the HR's existence, with the 194 introduced for the 1967 model year. This was coupled to a fully synchronized, column-shifted, three-speed manual transmission sourced from Opel in West Germany. The Premier Automatic sold in South Africa retained the Australian engine, at least until 1969. The South African Holden Special had power disc brakes in front as standard from 1967.
A three-speed manual gearbox with column change and synchronization on the top two gears was standard on the HR, with a two-speed "Powerglide" automatic transmission available as an option.
