HOLDEN STANDARD SEDAN
AND HOLDEN STANDARD STATION SEDAN

The new Holden Standard models are the lowest-cost way to enjoy full-size, 6-cylinder motoring. They give you Holden's exciting new Power-Swept styling. They bring you the great new power of Holdens new 100 h.p., 149 engine, or the new 115 h.p., 179 engine which is an optional extra when Hydra-Matic automatic transmission is fitted. And from both new engines you get more miles per gallon. In the new Holden Standard models your comfort and convenience is well looked after, too. You have room for six. A bigger, deeper luggage compartment in the Sedan. In fact, all the features you want with the savings you'll like.

Automatic motoring offers you a real plus in driving ease and pleasure. And you'll find that Hydra-matic transmission on Holden gives you the benefits of automatic motoring in greater measure. It gives you the extra flexibility and smoothness of 3 speeds. It has a Special Intermediate ratio to provide extra pulling power on hills or controlled engine braking on long descents. Hydra-Matic is rugged and trouble-free --service is needed only at 24,000 mile intervals. And Hydra-Matic is proved. Hydra-Matic is standard equipment on Premier Sedan and Station Sedan. It is available at moderate extra cost on all other Holden models.
