WB Holden<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WB was the last of the \u2018Kingswood\u2019 series<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A WB station wagon was considered, but never made it to mass production<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WB featured the last panelvan seen in the large Holdens<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A standard WB sedan was also built and considered, Holden opted to only go with the Statesman range<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just over 60 000 WB\u2019s were produced in total<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WB featured the last Holden Ute that would be seen until the VG in 1990. This effectively put an end to 34 consecutive years of Holden Utes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The HDT magnum was produced, based on the WB<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When brand new, the WB One Tonner was cheaper than the WB Ute<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WB production ended in 1985, the VK Commodore was being produced at the time and the VL was less than a year away from release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WB 202 engine produced 83kW of power<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
