1976 HX Statesman de Ville – Contessa Gold Model Car

The price tag of the new HX Statesman de Ville was $8,554 in 1976 – $4,000 cheaper than the Caprice – making the Statesman an affordable prestige car for the family man. Due to new emissions regulations, the HX Statesman saw a return to the 5.01 V8 engine. The HX offered a more formal, horizontal linear grille and introduced push button AM radio and a Rosewood timber instrument panel as standard features.
