    Holden EJ & EH

    Holden's EJ was released in 1962 and represented a styling departure from earlier Holdens. The car was similar in style to the UK Vauxhall Cresta. The EJ was powered by a 2.2 litre "Grey" six clyinder engine - the same basic engine that had been powering Holden's since the original 1948 48-215. This engine put out just 56kW, capable of pushing the car to 100km/h in 18 seconds and covering the standing quarter in 19 seconds. A total of 154,811 cars were built in a little over a year's production before the EJ was phased out in favour of the EH.

    The Holden EH was released in August 1963. The body was similar to the EJ which preceded it, with a different grille being the main difference.
    The big change was the introduction of the "Red" 6-clyinder motor. Three versions of the engine were available - a low compression and a high compression version 149ci (2,442cc) and a 179ci (2,933cc) engine. The low compression 149ci motor put out 75kW, while the 179ci engine put out 86kW. A 3-speed manual or 3-speed "Hydramatic" transmission were available. There were sedan, wagon, panel van and utility body variants available. An upsec version, the Premier, introduced power steering in February 1964. A total of 256,959 cars were built during the EH's production span from 1963 until 1965.
