Title: FEs outside theatrette Post by: customFC on January 03, 2006, 12:02:44 PM Interesting photo taken outside a theatrette that may be located at the Fishermans Bend Holden factory.
No details to give exact location, but the cars have Vic plates. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/customfc2/Holden/FEtheatrette.jpg) Here's a closer look.

Maybe the executives parked their cars outside while at the piccies. ;D The guy on the bike is working out how to pinch them! :o :o Title: Re: FEs outside theatrette Post by: 4hammers on January 04, 2006, 09:32:31 AM Early FE's as well. Look at the rear window trim. Thin strip. probably the Lang Lang test cars or something.

Title: Re: FEs outside theatrette Post by: FCwagon on January 04, 2006, 09:00:14 PM Info on this photo from the Holden archives is that it was taken at one of Holdens parts manufacturers in Williamstown (Melbourne). The light coloured car was the first FE produced at the "new" Dandenong plant.
Both cars were publicity vehicles used in many of the Holden ads and promotions. I've seen those same number plates used in other marketing photos for different cars as well. I guess they just transferred the regos. The GMH prefix was a standard issue Vic plate at the time and I'm surprised Holden didn't register more cars to take advantage of it.

Notice the car.

Regards Alex Title: Re: FEs outside theatrette Post by: customFC on November 11, 2006, 12:43:56 PM I think this might be how they got dirty.
