Description
Our HOLDEN HG MONARO GTS350 is of course the iconic Holden.B The HOLDEN MONARO was an automobile produced by General Motors-Holden’s in Australia between 1968 and 1977 and between 2001 and 2006. Three generations of the Monaro have been produced, with the last spawning an all wheel-drive variant, export models and various concept cars.
Released on 26 July 1970, the HG Monaro was the last of the original coupC) design concept. HG had cleaner lines with brightwork reduced and some re-designed. The HG sported different striping which were known as “sidewinder” stripes which ran along the top edge of the fenders, under the windows and finishing just before the rear pillar. The “Monaro” badge on both rear pillars was introduced to all models. For the HG GTS, the “GTS” badges now featured black paint fill, received new black-out paint on rocker panels, with the GTS 350 getting bold treatment with new “sidewinder” stripes and bonnet scoop black-outs. “GTS 350” designations now featured gutsier decals on the fenders and boot lid. Wheel arch moldings were deleted on all models. The “GTS 350” models no longer had the 350 Chevrolet badge on the fender, but rather a bold decal stating “350” as well as blackouts that covered the air-vents on the bonnet. The GTS badge originally above the gills in the fenders would be removed and would now be black instead of red (with the badges being placed on the passenger side of the grille and boot). The taillights had a cleaner look and the grille was redesigned. Most mechanical specifications remained the same as HT series, with the exception of Monaro GTS (non-350), which had softened suspension, resulting in a smoother ride. Manual HG GTS 350 retained the suspension from the HT GTS 350. Other upgrades included thicker (HT GTS 350 style) power front disc brakes, now standard for all V8 and the 6-cylinder Monaro GTS. The HG would be the final model for the generation and the last to use the original body shell.
This plate has no embossed characters but has a pressed out embossed borderB and is made from high quality aluminium and the artwork applied by a dye sublimation process with a lovely gloss finish. They measure 37 x 13 cm, exactly the same as the traditional fully embossed type of plate and look just like our other Aussie made novelty number plates; even the mounting holes are in exactly the same positions, so they can easily be hung on display indoors or outdoors. For protection during delivery we use extra packing materials to ensure they arrive in tip-top condition

Important note about images we provide : Just as we sometimes see that b pricing is subject to change without noticeb , so too are b designs subject to change without noticeb . In 99.99% of cases, what you see on Dixiebs website or brochure is what you get. However, there are the odd times when designs have changed in some small way (eg: maybe a logo moves to a different location on the item, or the colour changes). Sometimes this information doesnbt always trickle down until the new designs are manufactured and shipped to Dixie.B We hope this is helpful and understandable.
