Hi, not sure if this is the place to post this or not.
I have just started a restoration on my FC Holden. I have had it about 14mths & it has just sat in the shed due to work commitments. Having a few weeks off has got me enthused & I have stripped the car of doors,guards etc & gutted the interior ready for sandblasting...
I have some numbers here that I hope someone maybe able to fill me in on the original colours etc as it has a coat of old primer on it at present.
On the plate is the following;
FC 225-17902-A
Trim 508-839
Paint 226 2051
Insert 253 -9741
Top 256-2057? maybe a 1
Hoping that I can gain some info here & will try to post some pics soon.
It will be a longer project due to work & finance.
Cheers Perce
Hey Perce
Welcome to the forum.
I am posting a link to the decoder on the forum for you to insert the numbers.
I could do it for you, but believe it is a nice way to learn a bit about your car when doing it for yourself.
Here it is...

Please come back and share what you found out.

Thanks Alex. will give it a go. Im sure I will be in here from now on, asking questions & when it comes time for re assembling, spare parts as well. Once again thanks for your help
Cheers Perce
Hi Perce,
If your numbers are changed to:
FC-225-17902-A
Trim 308-839
Paint 226-2051
Insert 253-9741
Top 256-2051
The finder Alex refered to will show your car to be: Fountain Blue over Skyline Blue, Viscount Blue & Florida Blue Trim.
If however your code was:
Trim 309-839, your car would be: Skyline Blue over Fountain Blue, Viscount Blue & Florida Blue Trim
The numbers can be hard to read, and some are harder than others ie 1>7 if not stamped properly.
Could you also get the Chassis No from the right hand inner guard for us number collectors.

Hi Geoff, thanks for the info. I rechecked the nos & what you have psoted is correct.
Chassis no is; FC-17435-A so its a 59 FC made in Adelaide. I really appreciate all comments & help so far. Im sure there will be lots more as I go along
Cheers Perce
hi perce
these numbers sound like my brothers cars colors that he has just done up
i will have a look and let you know and i will get some pics and post for you if you like.
If they do match its a good combination of the two blues he has light over dark not sure of the names as yet though
cheers Phil
Hi Phil, I would really appreciate any pics that you may be able to post for me. At least it will give me some idea as to what the car will look like when repainted.
Also to Geoff, the correct numbers are as follow;
Trim; 308-839
Paint; 256-2051
Insert; 253-9741
Top; 256-2051
So exterior is 2 tone; Fountain Blue over Skyline Blue & interior is Viscount Blue & Florida Blue.
Cheers & thanks again guys
Perce
