Long sweeping lines, graceful body contours, a new grille with distinctive wedge-shaped emblem, new engine hood and air vent design, plus rich new interiors, make the new Holden the best-looking utility yet! There's an all-new, 100 h.p., 149 cu. in. engine to give you outstanding new performance and load- hauling ability. And not only does the new Holden Utility work harder for you . . . it cuts costs, too. You'll get more miles per gallon. You'll save on less frequent oil changes. And you'll benefit from even greater dependability and longer engine life. Inside the spacious cabin, everything about the new Holden Utility is designed to give you real comfort. The full-width bench seat is upholstered in rich new Elascofab . the exclusive GMH fabric that stands alone for good looks, long wear and easy care. The padded instrument panel has a new look with a new instrument cluster surround. Twin sun visors, flashing turn indicators and two-speed electric windshield wipers--with parallel action--are standard equipment. Outside, gem-hard Magic-Mirror acrylic lacquer protects and beautifies Holden. As well, there's a chrome windshield surround and heavy rear bumperettes that wrap round to protect the rear fenders.

With its 10 cwt. capacity for payload and driver, the new Holden Utility has the space you need for profitable loads. A heavy-duty tonneau cover is provided as standard equipment at no extra cost. With its new, higher steering ratio, Holden handles better than ever, and its smooth but rugged suspension gives you real comfort on all road surfaces. Finally, Holden's resale value--traditionally the highest-- makes sure you'll get a bigger return on your investment at trade-in time. In every feature, the new Holden Utility is designed to give you more value powered to give you more profit.

EXCLUSIVE "DOUBLE LIFE" BODY CONSTRUCTION STANDS UP BETTER TO WEAR AND TEAR Thanks to "Double Life" body construction, the structure of the new Holden Utility and Panel Van is the strongest you can buy. For instance, Holden's double floor gives double life. An all-steel panel extends the full length of the load compartment. The load floor itself is of durable, laminated hardwood protected by steel skid strips. It resists denting and chipping to a remarkable degree and is completely replaceable. Then, every Holden has a jewel-like exterior finish in Magic-Mirror acrylic lacquer. Magic-Mirror finish is exclusive to GMH. Its gem-hard surface gives increased resistance to chipping and cracking... keeps its showroom shine with a minimum of attention. And because every thing about Holden is specifically designed for the toughest Australian conditions, its suspension (long, wide rear springs, big coil front springs, massive front cross-member) has the real ruggedness to give you extra durability. In every component and every design feature, the new Holden Utility and Panel Van are built better to last longer ... to give you the assurance of highest resale value ... to save you extra money all the time they're working for you.
