The Holden EH Special was the top trim variant of the EH series, which Holden produced from 1963 to 1965 as a significant step forward from the preceding EJ. The Special designation placed it above the standard model in the EH range, offering a higher level of interior and exterior trim alongside the series' revised six-cylinder engine, which was updated to deliver improved output and fuel efficiency compared to its predecessor. The EH as a whole broke Australian sales records upon release, and the Special trim represented the version most buyers aspiring to the full EH experience would have sought out. Its combination of crisp, American-influenced styling and mechanical refinement cemented the EH's reputation as one of the most fondly remembered Holdens of the 1960s.
