The Holden WB Statesman, Caprice, Ute, and Panelvan represent a significant chapter in the history of Australian automotive manufacturing. Launched in 1977, the WB series marked the final iteration of the iconic HQ platform, which had been in production for over a decade. Building upon the success of its predecessors, the WB series offered a range of body styles catering to a diverse audience. The Statesman and Caprice, as full-sized sedans, represented the pinnacle of luxury and comfort. These vehicles boasted plush interiors, ample space, and powerful V8 engines, appealing to discerning customers seeking a refined driving experience. Meanwhile, the Ute and Panelvan, both built on the same chassis, provided practical and rugged workhorses for businesses and individuals alike. The Ute's open tray offered versatility for hauling cargo, while the Panelvan's enclosed body provided secure transportation for various goods. The WB series was notable for its numerous updates and refinements, including a revised front grille, new taillights, and improved suspension. The Statesman and Caprice models received additional enhancements like a more luxurious interior trim and upgraded features. Despite the WB series' success, it marked the end of an era for Holden's HQ platform. The introduction of the new VN Commodore in 1988 signaled a shift towards a more modern and fuel-efficient platform. However, the WB series remains fondly remembered by enthusiasts and collectors for its classic styling, robust construction, and enduring legacy. These vehicles continue to be popular among those seeking a piece of Australian automotive history, with many surviving examples meticulously restored to their former glory.
