Title: early holden identification Post by: geebeefc on May 28, 2014, 08:49:06 PM Hi, I know this is a bit away from fe/fc, but hoping someone may be strong on 48 series body numbers. I have a plate with strange numbers as follows - STYLE NO--48-354, BODY NO-617, trim no - 114 special, PAINT NO - 1, TOP ACC 1. I realize this is off a FX, but body style 354 I don't know, also paint No 1, is strange. Can anyone help?? Thanks Glenn

There may be some info on the FX FJ forum. Regards Craig D Title: Re: early holden identification Post by: Stewy on May 28, 2014, 09:36:26 PM Hi Glenn,
from holdens black book I can tell you that paint colour 1 is BLACK and ACC is the month of manufacture , 1 would be January The STYLE No should be 48- 215 or 217 The trim number does not match up with any in the book BODY No could be the 617th 48-215 built in Adelaide.

Sounds very interesting. Do you just have the ID tag or is this a complete car? If you have the car, a chassis number & engine number might also help..... How about a pic of the ID tag? Cheers, Graham Title: Re: early holden identification Post by: geebeefc on May 31, 2014, 08:59:33 AM Just the ID tag. Picked it up at a swap meet because of its interesting numbers.
