Hillman Minx 1967-1970 (Rootes Arrow range - basic version) by the round headlamps rather than Hunter. |

In Australia, Chrysler used the "round" headlight grille on the first Hillman Arrows / Hunters sold in Australia. This scene is from an Australian film,(the front of a Holden can be seen as well as an ABC TV logo in the lower right hand corner) hence the Hillman shown is an Arrow (base model) or a Hunter (deluxe model). The Chrysler Australia model designation was HB not Mk 1. -- Last edit: 2009-11-27 14:23:51 |

Update: have found a Hillman Australia website gallery http://vic.rootesgroup.org.au/HillmanModels.html which has very similar car (including side trim) as 1967 Hillman Arrow [HB], as rootesfan suggested. Lots of interesting Aus variations, eg it looks as id what we in UK would call a Singer Gazelle S6 ie pre-Arrow Audax with the squat grille was a Hillman Gazelle over there (though S1-5 were Singer as UK). Also the pre-Arrow Vogue was sold as both Singer and as Humber Vogue Sports. Lots of different Imp and Hunter versions too. A useful website if we get 60s onwards Rootes cars in Aus films - also http://vic.rootesgroup.org.au/Gallery.html and http://www.hillman.org.au/gallery.html . -- Last edit: 2011-02-04 13:53:55 |
