Shows what Australia (and Holden) is capable of. Wish those bloody unpatriotic journo's would shut up, Holden's far from dead. The government needs a swift kick to the backside too

She was always intended as only a show car, and in the scheme of Australian automotive history, a priceless antique nowSomebody might make a replica, but none have done so yet. This was born in 1967

Some production cars in Australia in the 60s had them as optional for the passengers but standard for the driver

Look at the back end and you will think otherwise. This car was a 1960s show car, and this style predated what Chevrolet was doing with the Corvette at the time. This was something Holden did "out the back of the workshop". Their best show car to date was the EFIJY in 2006, which hit the US show scene and cleaned up in awards wherever it went

1. designed and built as a one-off prototype 2. Australian built, which automatically means RHD. 3. Holden already build cars for Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, China, America, England. You just don't hear about them because they wear different badges outside Australia

The ignition switch is on the right side of the steering column on all the major brands in Australia and they turn clockwise. Australia did not adopt the metric system until 1974 although some manufactures used metric measurements to display engine capacity.

I remember seeing this in the Holden Musuem in Echuca back in the early 90's
It was just sitting in a corner neglected. I am glad they pulled it out and fixed it up.

Features include:
electronic digital instrument displays,
station-seeking radio,
automatic temperature control air conditioning,
rear vision camera
automated route finder
Holden Hurricane goes on show to the public for the first time at Motorclassica, Melbourne, October 21-23 Less
