<strong>HOLDEN</strong> <strong>TORANA</strong> <strong>PROTOTYPES</strong>-<strong>PART</strong> 2<br />
In the last online issue of RETROAUTOS we delved into the vaults to bring you the images of the<br />
various design studios for the first 6 cylinder Holden Toranas. Now, RETROAUTO can reveal the<br />
images of the 4 cylinder styling concepts, developed in parallel with the sixes.<br />
The image below shows one of the styling ideas being reviewed. The following pics were taken in<br />
early 1967, two years ahead of the release date.<br />
