The Holden WB series is an automobile which was produced by Holden in Australia from 1980 to 1984. It is a facelifted version of the Holden HZ series, which it replaced. Unlike the HZ and every other full size Holden series before it, the Holden WB was only offered in commercial vehicle body styles with no sedan or wagon passenger car variants. The long-wheelbase WB series models were marketed under the separate Statesman marque, absent of all Holden branding. == Model range == The Holden WB series was released in April 1980, the range consisting of two coupe utility models, a panel van and a cab chassis truck.〔Terry Bebbington & Michel A Malik, 45 Years of Holden, 1994, pages 72-74〕 The Kingswood panel van, Sandman utility and Sandman panel van models were not carried over from the HZ commercial range. The WB range therefore consisted: * Holden (utility and van) * Holden Kingswood (utility) * Holden One Tonner (cab chassis) The Kingswood utility featured a black grate style grille and rectangular headlights, unlike the more basic models which shared a divided grille with circular headlights.〔(Holden WB Technical Specifications ) Retrieved from www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au on 16 July 2010〕 In August 1980, the base models received an update which gave them the same frontal treatment as the Kingswood utility.〔 Plans to produce sedan and wagon versions of the Holden WB reached an advanced stage but ultimately were not pursued.〔Tony Davis, Ewan Kennedy & Alisator Kennedy, The Holden Heritage, Eighth Edition, 1998, page 59〕 These variant would have supplemented the new Holden Commodore models in the family car market.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Holden WB」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
