1956 FE interiors had painted steering columns as discussed in another thread.
This shot is from a car that Dan Power purchased at the Bendigo Nats. An old chap turned up offering it for sale and Dan jumped at the chance.
It is chassis number 6- 6040 M dated 17/9/56
The photo also shows the seat surrounds also peculiar to 56 FE's.

That's interesting. I don't know if I'd want my column to stand out or not.
