Title: First NZ Built Holden Post by: RET on November 13, 2003, 06:42:54 AM This is an excellent photo.
(Going O/T about being O/T)... Lately there seems to be a bit too much trans-Tasman rivalry going on, to the point where if a thread goes on long enough, it will turn into this "who's got the least ridiculous flightless bird?" argument. Sorry if that ruffles any feathers ;D But to get back to the point: this is a great photo showing the very first New Zealand assembled Holden - an FE of course - coming down the line. I don't know if you guys have seen it elsewhere, but this is a photo of a framed print of it that Dad was given by people he does charity work for, since they knew he liked old banger Holdens. I wasn't prepared to strip the pic from the frame to scan it, hence the less-than-fabulous quality of this version here. Enjoy! cheers RET Title: Re: First NZ Built Holden Post by: kalfe on November 13, 2003, 07:27:48 AM that is a great pic

Nothing wrong with scanning as you did , clear as a bell . Make sure you drop the hint to your dad , Christmas is coming & it would look good on the wall at your place ;D Norm Title: Re: First NZ Built Holden Post by: customFC on November 13, 2003, 12:48:23 PM Hey Richard.
I have not seen that pic before. What an awesome score for your Dad. All that charity work can sometimes really pay off. Here is a similar pic taken on the same day.
