Title: Carpark pic Post by: Hewart on October 30, 2002, 10:38:53 AM G'day all...
Thought I'd share this shot of your average 1956 parking station.... ;) Just goes to show how popular the Holden was back in those days.... and I guess it still is... Cheers...

GREAT PHOTO!!!!!!!!!!! Check out the Tilly's stripe on the FE with the door open. I'm sure this is the Kent street parking station in Sydney (I park there alot when I have meetings in town) Keep them coming. Cheers, Craig.

Thanks for the pic....very interesting. Nothing changes, the guys that drive the Fords couldn't drive back then either. Regards Alex Title: Re: Carpark pic Post by: normd on October 30, 2002, 01:46:53 PM Hey Alex
You wouldn't be "pickin on Ford" guy's would you :-/ Even though I'm an "FE/FC fanatic " in here (--> Small print -->) I got 3 Fords hehehehe ;D Yes Les, it is a great pic , keep 'em coming you guys . This is the first place I check each day. (Just giving ya heaps mate) Norm d Title: Re: Carpark pic Post by: craiga on October 30, 2002, 09:52:20 PM Mmmm. Shouldn't be too critical too fast. Check out the same scene later in the day ;D
Cheers, Craig (FC and Ford owner) Title: Re: Carpark pic Post by: customFC on October 30, 2002, 09:52:51 PM Nothing wrong with Fords, it's the driver that did the parking. Wouldn't mind that brand new Cusso in my garage today.
Is it just me, or is that FE with the Tilly's kit a 'Standard'? It has indicators, but I can't see a numberplate overrider, nor a chrome strip on the top of that open door, and the interior looks to be one colour. Interesting. Hey Craig. I know you say you park there regularly, but how do you manage to drive TWO cars at once. TeeHee! Regards Alex Title: Re: Carpark pic Post by: RET on October 31, 2002, 01:18:55 AM Quote Mmmm.

You virtual law-breaker, you! ;) Title: Re: Carpark pic Post by: Hewart on October 31, 2002, 11:18:03 AM G'day guys...
Glad you liked the pic...! :) To help with Alex's observations, I went back and re-scanned the original pic to try and capture as much detail as I could.... (http://photo.starblvd.net/hewart/2-4-3.jpg) As you can see there are a few scratches and creases on the old photo, but you can see the FE a little better I hope.... there is indicators, and no numberplate overridder.... as for the interior, can't really tell... you can see where somewhere in the history of the pic it was re-touched with a brush (as they did in those pre-computer days) to highlight the back shape of the car and the actual steering wheel too... hope this helps... And yes Craig, the caption on the back say it is the Kent Street car park... good pick... Cheers.. Les.... Title: Re: Carpark pic Post by: customFC on November 01, 2002, 01:01:52 AM Hey Les.
Cool work. I think that close up confirms it for me....interesting! If you look at all the other FE's, you can clearly see they have 2 tone interiors. You don't see that with this FE. Now can you just zoom in on the rego label so that we can see what it says. Lol. Thanks Regards Alex. Title: Re: Carpark pic Post by: normd on November 01, 2002, 01:06:06 PM Les , Better tell the lady to check the bonnet , doesn't look as if it's closed properly hehe ;D
Wonder if any of the cars in these old photo's are still running and belong to club members ?????? Norm d Title: Re: Carpark pic Post by: Hewart on November 04, 2002, 07:05:28 AM G'day guys...
That's one of the things I've always wondered.... I have quiet a few old pics, and would love it if someone, somewhere along the line is able to recognise any of the numberplates in any of those pictures... It would be a great buzz I reckon...!! Especially if the car is still around in a club or something like that.... Cheers... Title: Re: Carpark pic Post by: leon on November 04, 2002, 10:55:49 AM ;)G Day fellows. Out of all these FE's not one FE standard Maybe they are all parked at the front.
Its great to see the FE's getting on top of things. ;D Regards Leon. Title: Re: Carpark pic Post by: craiga on November 04, 2002, 11:00:28 AM Leon,
You must of mistaken the point of the photo - its a line up to get proper wraparound (or some ::)) blinkers fitted ;) See you at the airshow. Cheers, Craig. Title: Re: Carpark pic Post by: Cat on November 14, 2002, 02:44:42 AM Les,
That's a wonderful picture. I was definitely born in the wrong era. :'( Oh, and wouldn't it make a great calendar page?? ...don't you think ret?? ;D Cat Title: Re: Carpark pic Post by: HARKO on November 14, 2002, 09:26:22 AM I bet the car on the second row is feeling a bit wosely between all those FE's
Title: Re: Carpark pic Post by: normd on November 14, 2002, 05:09:11 PM Hey Harko
Or the car in the top row is feeling "perfect" with all the FE's hehehe Norm d |
