1979 Holden WB Kingswood Prototype

Front and left hand side view. A prototype car is manufactured to showcase new styling and technology. It is used to gauge public reactions by evaluating the opinions of employees or focus groups. The results will decide whether the vehicle goes into production. The WB Kingswood was built at the Holden factory in Elizabeth and features the H series body. It was designed to be the next release of the Kingswood/Commodore and increase sale options. However, the WB was rejected by the styling and sales department for being too similar to the previous model Statesmen and it never went into production.
