Title: Our new FC Post by: NascoHunter on September 09, 2007, 08:56:58 PM Here are some pictures of our latest addition - a 1959 Standard FC sedan. It's Adobe Beige with a Terra Cotta Miami flash kit which I've never seen before. All orginal - first registered 17th December 1959 and has travelled only 86,000 miles since then. The plan is to leave it with that 'barn find' look and do all the mechanicals and use it on Club runs. My eldest daughter has shown interest in an FE-FC, so I've promised it to her and we plan to work on the car together. The car has only travelled 2,500 miles in the last 20 years and came with all the original purchase papers and accessory orders. What a find!!

Look forward to seeing it Ken Title: Re: Our new FC Post by: NascoHunter on September 09, 2007, 09:07:32 PM ThanksKen,
Will bring all the paperwork to the meeting on Tueday night. There's quite a bit! Tony. Title: Re: Our new FC Post by: HAD 708 on September 09, 2007, 09:56:51 PM Well done Tony,Dina and family,
What a great car and to think you may let Eliza out in it on a DRY day i bet she is thrilled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Though seriously you need to be congratulated on perpetuating the FE FC model, yourself and others like you desreve a pat on the back! It look s a great car maybe i can take it on runs until my car comes into service! It will be a a real interest at Mt Gambier! Cheers Brett Title: Re: Our new FC Post by: customFC on September 09, 2007, 10:13:37 PM WOW!!
I wish that was on the trailer headed for my place. That is an absolute gem. How rare is that flash!!! A standard FC is the perfect choice for that flash, as no extra chrome to get in the way. Great colour combo. Is the silver part of the flash a stainless insert or paint? I hope to see it at Mt Gambier......please!!!! A big CONGRATS on your new FC score. Regards Alex ps. I agree, update the mechanicals and perhaps the bumpers, but leave the rest as it is......she's perfect. Title: Re: Our new FC Post by: NascoHunter on September 09, 2007, 10:15:29 PM Your on Brett will have to keep you keen behind the wheel of an FC.
Cheers, Tony. Title: Re: Our new FC Post by: NO NAME on September 09, 2007, 10:31:47 PM thats one cool flash kit
Title: Re: Our new FC Post by: NascoHunter on September 09, 2007, 11:00:15 PM Thanks Alex and FCcool,
Yes the silver part of the flash is stainless and will use parts of my blue & white FC origanal chrome and that way it will go with rest of the car not new but good. We will see about Mt. Gambier 5 in one FC is fun but in 2 FC even better. Thanks again Tony.

Title: Re: Our new FC Post by: Rabbitoh on September 11, 2007, 09:58:16 AM Congrats to the Galea clan on your newest arrival!
What an absolute pearler of an FC :o(even us FE tragics would have to admit). Where in creation did you find such a rare-un? Title: Re: Our new FC Post by: Hewart on September 11, 2007, 07:43:59 PM It's amazing that something that looks so hot would be left in the shed for so many years and not driven around!!!
Wouldn't you just want to drive it!! Great find Tony... congrats! Cheers Les... |
