Greetings, Only the Body and VIN plates were. They have been put on to an HG as shown in the picture. Look closer and you will see the shell is a Trimatic of some sort. This is a rebodied car.

Greetings, Because the body the ID plates are on in the picture is not the body the ID plates were on when the car was new. So the body has been changed obviously. Holden will identify this vehicle by the ID plate numbers. A registration authority will identify this vehicle by the Chassis Number stamped in the car. As far as Holden are concerned it is an HT Brougham from Melbourne. As far as the registration authority is concerned it is something else as it has an HG prefix Chassis Number and is a post 10/70 body. Two different cars depending on who is confirming it. So it has been rebodied at least once.
