I would be interested in hearing a bit more about this vehicle of yours - it does sound very unusual. To the best of my knowledge, painted headlight and taillight surrounds were found on some FC utes and vans, but were not especially popular - I'm not aware of any FEs done in this manner. Could you supply the body-plate details that you have? I'm intrigued. I would also be happy to advertise the car for you in our club magazine if you would like to give me some details of price and location. cheers Richard Title: Re: FE HOLDEN PANELVAN /PANELWAGON Post by: Ken McLean on March 15, 2000, 01:00:00 PM Sounds like a vanette. Not really rare since there is another model with 3 doors as well as the rear seat and windows yours has. I know of at least 4 of the three door models and about a dozen as you describe. If you can find the paint number I will confirm the colour for you.
