Leylands Family Model

The "Super" model was concepted as the middle range family car - direct competitor to "Holden's Premier" "Fords Fairmont" and "Valiant's Regal" these cars were targeted at the slightly up-market family . Leyland were to achieve something that most other manufactures would only dream of with this model , as the "Super" was to achieve a much higher percentage of sales per build than its oppositions offerings . Fords "family" car was to become the lower leveled "Falcon 500" , Holden's became the "Kingswood" and Valiant carried family's around in "Rangers" . Only the P76 gained wide scale "mid market" acceptance with its luxury "Super" . Fitted with either V8 or OHC 6 in 4 speed floor shift manual or column / t-bar automatic form this car had plenty of options . Sharing its external chrome and basic badging with the "Executive" , available in the full range of colors - inside and out these were a good looking car .Deep padded vinyl bucket seats were standard ( no bench option ) . Interestingly the "standard" buckets had fixed backs and if you wanted reclining seats it would cost you a extra $35.oo . The rear seat had a center armrest (of course) and the interior was complemented with loop pile carpet . Wood grain appeared everywhere from the door trims to the instruments and dash . A comprehensive dash was shared between this model and the "Executive" with a clock and "Volt" gauge as standard . Extra soundproofing was fitted above the "Deluxe" and included inside the bonnet . Dual 5 inch headlights and grill was fitted, shared with the more up market Executive" as were wider rims and full hubcaps . "Supers" had slightly padded door "tops" and interior "A" pillar areas and were fitted with the padded and recessed sun visior's also uses in the Executive model . Power steering was not a factory option (it was fitted on Targas though) . The boot was painted black and finished in the same rubber floor mat as used in the "Deluxe" . Air conditioning was apparently a late (and rare) option
