At a time when Holden was enjoying incredible market dominance, the EK series represented fresh Chevrolet-influenced on a well-tried platform.
In a profile on this and the FB predecessor, we noted: “On 2 May 1961 and despite a ‘credit squeeze’ that savaged new vehicle sales, the EK Holden was launched. Most obvious among its external changes were the new grille and single rubbing strip to replace the big sweep of stainless steel that characterized FB Specials. An extensive accessories list allowed buyers to upgrade and personalize their Holden, with extras including a radio, weather-shield and mudflaps.”
This utility has seen some mechanical updates, with a 202 straight six and four-speed manual transmission.
It’s located in Yallingup in WA and is priced at $30,000.
