hi
does anyone know if the HQ ever came out with a factory heated rear window, or did they first appear in the HJ? If not, could a retrofit be organised, say a HJ-HZ Statesman heated rear window into an HQ Statesman?
cheers frank

I would imagine it to be a simple task to fit a HJ-HZ rear

Over time I have had few HQ sedans. None had this option and the screen was bare. However there was a kit you could stick on yourself.
And yes I do believe the HJ was the first one to get it, and yes the HJ ones should fit. I just never bothered to se

OZ Chev,

Hi Guys.
Just to confirm that the HQ Statesman had the heated rear screen as a factory option for the Australian market in the '73 & '74 HQ series.
The SWB cars, Kingswood, Premier, Monaro etc did not get this option until HJ.
