With diminishing sales of the HD, Holdens response was the HR. Although the body changes looked mild, they involved reworking the roof line and changing almost all the exterior panels to give a sleeker, more modern profile. A new grille with squared off headlight surrounds at the front and tower type lights at the rear only added to the looks, it proved very successful and made the HR one of the biggest selling Holdens of all. Compared to 178,927 for the HD and 252,352 for the HR (produced until January 1968.) This lifted sales of the HR Holden to the level that Holden received from then popular EH Holden which had sold 256,959 vehicles. As well as styling changes, the Holden?s performance was improved by virtue of an enlarged version of the red engine with higher compression ratios.

The 179 was enlarged to become the very popular 186. Other HR changes included a slightly widened track and a wider rear windscreen. While the Special was the most common type of HR, the Premier was the top of the line and it had plusher cabin trimmings, including a wood grain finish (artificial), body trim included stainless steel around the wheel arches, along the boot between the tail lights and stone guards. There were many options for the HR, like power steering, front wheel disc brakes, a limited slip differential and yet more with the Nasco accessories like sill chrome mouldings, wheel trim rings, side mirror, radio, aerial, hood ornament were available.

Six months after the launch, all HRs were given a safety upgrade with the addition of front seat belts, windscreen washers, reverse lights.
