The
HK series Brougham was launched in July 1968, alongside the
Holden Monaro coupé. The
HT series was announced in 1969, and the
HG series in 1970. Because of its luxury positioning, the Brougham was only available with an
automatic transmission, first a two-speed, then a three-speed after the HG series' launch. The HK series Brougham was only available with a
Chevrolet 307 V8 engine. Throughout its production life the
Ford Fairlane outsold it by a large margin. The Brougham was replaced by the long-wheelbase
Statesman models in 1971, on the redesigned HQ platform. == South Africa ==
