50th anniversary HX had standard kingswood front panel, they were 202 console auto, full size coloured hubcaps & 50th anniversary badge on rear pillars. I'm sure it only came in a bronze/brown colour. Don't remember any accessories like a/c or p/steer, sure they didn't.

I had one, sometime in 90s, may have tags somewhere

That model came in about 3 or 4 colours Max not just Bronze
Contessa Gold
I think Deville Blue and a Beige colour

OK, only remember seeing the brown, which coulda been contessa gold, memory fail.
But definately only had single h/l front.

Mate of mine had a blue one back in the day
Yep standard front end

The 4 colour combinations for the HX 50th Anniversary model were:

Anniversary Gold over Contessa Gold
Anniversary Gold over Persian Sand
Anniversary Gold over Persian Sand Mk 2
Antelope over Deauvile Blue

maxsandman is pretty right. The 50th Anniversary came only with 202 Trimatic T-Bar, bucket seats, clock, AM radio, heated rear screen (sedan only) & rubber strips in the bumpers.

Apart from those items, the badges & the colour coded (Premier) hubcaps it was pretty much a normal Kingwood.

Thanks for the colour clarification, Dr Terry. I do now remember the blue, but the brown ones were more common round here. Also thanks Valencia, but brain takes a while sometimes!
I dug out the tags off the car I stripped years ago, last nite, & couldn't identify the top colour on google.
1435-67v
567 30174
So that must be anniversary gold.

Also I'm 90% sure this one had the HZ girlock alloy front callipers on it.

Along with the 50th anniversary pillar badges, I have the leather key tag with the same logo, in poor condition, but still visible.
The best thing I got from this $50 car was a perfect console!

Good find !!

1435 is Anniversary Gold over Contessa Gold.

Anniversary Gold is 567-30174, Contessa Gold is 567-15942

I was looking at my Old man's poster celebrating 50 years last weekend, and now this anniversary model question and I was wondering what was the significance of 1926?
