there are quite a few left, there either tucked away or not driven often, i no of at least 5, all early holden utes and panel vans used the previous model tail lites as holden never changed the stamping dyes on commercials,ie,, hr had hd tail lites, eh had ej tail lites etc,with the exception of the 48 215 or fx and fj, they had a d lite,the tail lites are a great way to spot a fake or cut down,altho its becoming popular in oz to fit rear quarter panels from the sedan or wagon onto a ute or p/v,but. that takes away the origanalty,

Yes, but 48-215 is only the correct model code for a sedan, the ute designation was actually 50-2106. There was of course no panelvan or Special sedan until the FJ.

get it certified and take it to Blenheim to show it off at the nationals during easter weekend. If it is not certed you can still enter as unfinished but will have to trailer it to the show. Find your local club in club contacts the guys are really easy going as you would expect from vanners. http://vanz.net.nz/

Just wondering if anyone has seen a HR panel Van in recent years, I do not recall seeing one for over 15 years, but I have one now in Aussie which I hope to bring back home about April.

There's an HK down the road from me, but HR panel vans were always rare here, cant recall even seeing any when I was younger, let alone recently. It will be well worth bringing over now, possibly the only one here?

The HR tail lights were tall and skinny. The HD ones wrapped around.

All pre HK Holden commercials are rare here, they weren't that numerous when new, especially FB to HR, I don't think GM assembled them here?Funny how Holden never bothered to update the tail lights and rear sheet metal when facelifting in the 50s and 60's, by the time HK-HG and then HQ-HZ came along they stopped bothering with changing the ute, van and wagon lights at all. Had they not wanted to give the WB more of an 80s look they probably would have left the HQ lights as is.

I stand corrected. Except on the utes and vans.

I used to have an HR panelvan. It was a Fun-Ho diecast though.
