A lot of these 'special' builds had many extras not available to mere mortals. There was a HB Torana if my memory serves me, which had a GM-H fitted sunroof. Warren or Ben would have more on that one.

Also. I doubt you or I could have had that trim or a GTS fluted bonnet factory fitted.

So even though this was on a car that was built by Holden. It was not a 'Factory' colour, option or trim. It was 'Special'

I find it a bit annoying when people think it becomes a 'Factory' colour, option or trim, just because one special order was made.

Not referring specifically to this vehicle. Just the generic 'rare' usage that people use just because only 18,000 of that colour were made? Or 'rare' because only 256,000'ish EH's were made.

I work on cars often that only 1, 2, 3, 10, 50, 100 etc were made in total of body. That is rare. Cord, Tucker, Ferrari 195, Austin Healey 100S, EH S4. AC Cobra (real), Aston Martin DB4, etc. Personally in my opinion I am over the 'rare' term, unless it is real.

I'm over all 'rare' cars. Cut, chop, hot rod, V8, whatever. Just make it not 'factory'

Just my own personal opinion.

Yeah fair enough. I would say this car is in the 'rare' description with it's assembly line parts. Not many 'SPEC' body plates out there.

I would still cut, chop, modify it if I owned it.

Maybe better wirds are "rare options for a Brougham". Aside from the special colour and trim, you will never see assembly plant fitted GTS bits on a Brougham, let alone a Salisbury, Rally rims. Just to find one today with air, steer, power windows, reclining buckets, T-bar and LSD is not common

Greetings, You got it in one. This was obviously a show car that some big wig would have wanted. The Body ID plate is self explanatory. Note that the trim (vinyl) is HQ late type just like the cloth material pattern (herringbone-design). I doubt it would have had Rally rims, rather just the standard wheel/tyre with perhaps a special wheel trim. There is a shot of a car that could be this actual car at the Adelaide show in 1971. It looks like it has Chevrolet wheel caps on it there. But a super Brougham just the same. That colour by the way is listed as simply Blue.
