The boys in blue had some classy rides in the 50's, none more so than the FE's and FC's.

Yes, constant battering by 'perps' heads will do that.
What a great series of pics!
Looks like a PMG FJ van lurking in the shadows in the 1st pic and an FE or C PMG ute in the 2nd
I see the floor is well oiled and the C number plate could indicate the FEDS
Must be winter or Gowings had a sale on overcoats
Here's a couple of borrowed pics and one I took at the wintersun many years ago now :)
