FactHolden's one-millionth car ever built rolled off the line in 1962 — and it was an EJ Premier.
The Holden EJ is a motor vehicle produced by Holden from 1962 to 1963, introduced in July 1962 to replace the EK series. Its styling was a radical departure from the EK, with a lower roofline, a flatter boot and an absence of fins, and improvements were made to the brakes, front suspension and the Hydra-matic automatic transmission. A new luxury model, the Holden Premier, made its debut in the EJ series with a leather interior, bucket seats, metallic paint, a heater/demister with centre console and arm rests on all four doors, fitted with the Hydra-matic 3-speed automatic as standard. All EJ models were powered by a 138-cubic-inch (2,262 cc) inline six producing 75 bhp, and the EJ was the last Holden to be equipped with the "grey motor" that had been fitted since the 48-215 (the last was made on 2 August 1963). After a production run of 154,811 vehicles it was replaced by the EH series in August 1963; the 1,000,000th Holden, an EJ Premier, was produced on 26 October 1962.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
