  Holden Sandman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Holden Sandman is a panel van and ute produced by Holden in Australia between 1974 and 1985.
Although manufactured in conjunction with the utility models, the panel van is externally similar to a station wagon, save the lack of side windows, rear seats, and a noticeably extended rear roofline, it gained notoriety during the latter half of the 1970s as a mobile venue for sexual intercourse.
By the earky 1980s however, the Sandman had largely lost its place in the contemporary Australian culture, and became merely a trade vehicle and an icon of a bygone era; Holden's last commercially released panelvan was their WB panelvan (off the recently-defunct Kingswood model) in 1983.

 Back in the sin bin
The new Sandman is due to arrive in showrooms this week, four years after the concept car was shown at the Sydney Motor Show and more than two decades after the original hit the streets.
Holden's 21st century sin-bin has changed substantially since the original Kingswood-based versions of the 1970s: instead of a metal body, the modern panel van is a ute with a fibreglass canopy (pictured below).
About 20 percent of new Holden utes sold in Australia are fitted with the optional hard tonneau cover but Holden is not expecting the panel van top to reach the same level of popularity given its price.

Holden took the wraps off a spectacular design concept that pays modern homage to a fondly remembered automotive icon of the seventies – the Sandman Panel Van.
Based on the VU Holden Ute the one-off special Holden Sandman is the result of a creative collaboration with Australian surf and streetwear company, Mambo.
Holden’s Executive In Charge of Design, Michael Simcoe, says the Sandman panel van concept began as a sketch doodled in 1997 by young designer Andrew Smith, who was working on the new VU Holden Ute program.

The new HK Holden was bigger, lower and heavier than the previous model, and boasted two major model additions to the range.
The introduction of the HQ GTS/4 and the Sandman panelvan heralded the start of the extinction process for the Monaro Coupe, as the Sandman quickly became the two door of choice for the young Australian male (for obvious reasons it was a winner).
