The Holden HK series is an automobile which was produced by Holden in Australia from 1968 to 1969. Introduced in January 1968,[2] the HK range progressively replaced the Holden HR series which had been in production since 1966. HK models were both larger and heavier than their predecessors and the range would ultimately include thirteen different models against the eight of the HR range. The Holden HK was marketed under Belmont, Kingswood, Premier, Brougham and Monaro model names.
