First NZ Built Holden

[RET]

This is an excellent photo.

(Going O/T about being O/T)... Lately there seems to be a bit too much trans-Tasman rivalry going on, to the point where if a thread goes on long enough, it will turn into this "who's got the least ridiculous flightless bird?" argument.  Sorry if that ruffles any feathers ;D

But to get back to the point: this is a great photo showing the very first New Zealand assembled Holden - an FE of course - coming down the line.  I don't know if you guys have seen it elsewhere, but this is a photo of a framed print of it that Dad was given by people he does charity work for, since they knew he liked old banger Holdens.  I wasn't prepared to strip the pic from the frame to scan it, hence the less-than-fabulous quality of this version here.

Enjoy!

cheers

       Nothing wrong with scanning as you did , clear as a bell . Make sure you drop the hint to your dad , Christmas is coming & it would look good on the wall at your place  ;D

Hey Richard.
I have not seen that pic before.
What an awesome score for your Dad.
All that charity work can sometimes really pay off.
Here is a similar pic taken on the same day.

 Smiling was a federal offence back in that era.
