Post by: ACE on March 28, 2004, 09:28:11 PM Yes Ken they are real as Effie C has pointed out. ;)
I've had the pleasure :P of working on a FD Vauxhall a number of years ago. Regards ACE 8) Title: Re: Strange ID plate ....whattisit? Post by: mcl1959 on April 01, 2004, 09:17:40 AM The reason I asked is because a thought struck me. :P
You know the Holden ID code represents the year the prototype was made, well the ID plate in case is from 1960 ish so.... was the FD prototype made in 1957 in between the FC and the FE? Just tell me if I'm being stupid. Ken Title: Re: Strange ID plate ....whattisit? Post by: streetneat on April 01, 2004, 07:43:18 PM Ther are no stupid questions ...just stupid people... (Quote from annoymous)....better back that up with an emoticon in case its read the wrong way again... ;D This ID plate came from the farm of secret stash of FC Holdens Ken ... I was offered the same explanation as you have just come up with (from the owner) but feel now thats its likely to ba a Vauxhall plate. Owner could not recall what car he got it from. ::) Cheers streetneat
