Holden EJ
The Holden EJ is a motor vehicle produced by General Motors-Holden's in Australia from 1962 to 1963. Introduced in July 1962, the EJ replaced the Holden EK series.
Overview.
The styling of the EJ was a radical departure from that of the EK, with a lower roofline, a flatter boot and an absence of fins. Improvements were made to the brakes, front suspension and the Hydra-matic automatic transmission.
A new luxury model, the Holden Premier, made its debut
model in 1948, Holdens had been fitted with what was commonly known as the grey motor. The EJ was the last Holden to be equipped with that engine.
Production and replacement.
After a production run of 154,811 vehicles, the EJ was replaced by the Holden EH series in August 1963. The 1,000,000th Holden, an EJ Premier, was produced on 26 October 1962.
The EJ was also assembled in New Zealand by GMNZ, and was marketed in South Africa as well.
