Here's a pic of a FE competing in the 1957 Mobilgas trials. Pic taken in Darwin.
No chrome or indicators seem to indicate that this was a standard or business sedan.

Nice ones alex,
those big lug tyres in the first photo would have been noisy on that new fandangled bitumen seal in Darwin's streets.

Great pics Alex , (as always)

Hey Shayne , Yep , those tyres , you'd hear 'em coming for miles on the tar. They were called "winter treads" most of the farmers around here used them on the dirt roads. 50's - early 70's vintage.
