Holden HT Monaro
Move Ahead of your Time:
(circa 1969)
You are in the future - NOW - in the new Monaro, just released. It gives you,
now, what other cars wish they could, like lines that get better looking every
minute, like a new optional all-Australian V8 engine with big lazy power that
drives these wider-track wheels where ever you dare to go.
Like soft, secure
bucket seats and safety all around you. And much more - the new Monaro - imported
straight from the future. Now's the time to go Monaro. Move ahead of your time
- the new Monaro - at your Holden dealer.
