Title: FE Albert Park 1956 Post by: AstraTony on December 20, 2006, 11:05:27 PM Gentlemen.
Sorry to bother you all again. Now this one I know is an FE. (http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g66/Tonybel/1956AGP03.jpg) My dad was a keen motorsport fan, something that continued even after he went blind in 1958. He took this at The Australian Grand Prix around Albert Park Lake in 1956. It was not yet a round of the World Championship, but was still held each year, and this year was Melbourne's turn. There were numerous supporting races and this was one of them. It was called Production Racing in those days, and just to prove that Holden vs Ford is not a recent thing, here's one of the Ford's the FE was up against, a Customline with an engine quite a lot bigger.
