EK HOLDEN 'NASCO' ACCESSORIES!

Nasco accessories

And as if the EK Holden's amazing standard features weren't mouth-watering enough (eg: the ashtray, and what about those coat hooks!), you could commit yourself to permanent paroxysms of automotive euphoria by optioning up a plethora of after-market add-on accessories from Nasco. You had to love the 'Suitcase Set', made to 'fit snugly' in the boot! And the 'Auto Home Shaver', what a car hey!
