Michael’s ’69 Holden HT Premier

Dec 15, 2018 | Customer Projects

It’s been 5 years now since Michael from Deluxe Restorations completed his 1969 Holden HT Premier.

In a full ground-up rebuild, the ‘Prem’ was stripped back to bare metal and recoloured Aluminium Metallic. This was done in Protec Basecoat with an Extra Flow Clear on top.

Michael said it was a bit of work, but it could have been much worse.

“It had to be completely resprayed and, of course, there were the regular issues that all restorers have with a car of this age.”

This vehicle was featured in the 2018 Auto West Calendar.
