factory windows

[Innuendo]

Ok, took a bit of searching on the net but I have found you some HQ's with factory glass.

Interesting. Well the first one is. The second one is a bitsa, anything could have happened with that.
Note how late the first HQ van is, no side flutes. Same for the second for that matter! Did you notice the glass in the Ern Jones ad you posted?

I have Rodney's glass and rubbers in my shed as the rubbers are being used on my van... Both sets of glass are the same size and have the same markings. I'll measure them later and post them up.

Perfect, lets see how it compares.

Interestingly I looked at the HJ, HZ and HZ Production Options books.

HJ lists A09 (side windows) for commercial only and not Kingswood.
HX lists A09 for commercial and Kingswood.
HZ doesn't list A09.

You might want to check your books as well Byron as the publish dates may differ which might have changes.

There was no HJ Kingswood van.
My HZ book shows A09 for Holden and Kingswood vans. Sheet 7 of POA book. I think my rev is 9/5/79.

Would NRMA vans have had factory windows?

Would NRMA vans have had factory windows?

A good majority only had a single side panel glass. This allowed for advertising.
This one shows 3 windows. None are the supposed factory style.

I don't 100% know if this even the same Van it is possibly two different cars?

I had a HZ one once that I bought as a mobile firewood shed on my property. It had them.

The ex NRMA one I had, had 4 x windows, but alas it was a $100 special bought only to drive around the 10 acres I lived on to collect firewood and thus I took no photos and didn't care! It was rust free too except for the bottoms of the rear quarters where it had sat and got water in them. It was the 90's and no-one wanted vans, hence why they were so cheap.

A bit off topic, but here's a couple more NRMA vans; they often had two windows on the left & only one on the right rear.

Front windows
10 7/8" x 25 1/8" ........ 278mm x 637mm


Rear windows
10 7/8" x 29 5/8" ....... 278mm x 753mm


they vary in measurement by about 1/8" or 2 to 3mm. This appears to be due to the curving of the glass.

Another HQ Sandman with factory windows ...... Brissy built. Bet they measure up the same..
