All I have seen is a black and white thumbnail picture myself. The van is still coming over here so you, all, like me, will have to wait.

Sorry,

Hey Brad

I'm a little bit behind the times and have only just read this post.

Quote
It must have done some work, I've never seen an early Holden with that much paint worn off the inside top of a back door before.

The pic takes me back to 1954/55 when my old man was a newsagent delivering papers.  The wear pattern on that back door looks just like what was on his car.  I can see one guy driving and the other sitting in the back seat with a mountain of rolled-up papers beside him, tossing them out the window.  And if the seat springing is stuffed, particularly in L.H.R passenger seat, my theory might hold up. (If it was a business sedan I'd put money on it - but I don't think business sedans saw a life into 1959.)

Any chance you can post the ID plate details and chassis number of this car?

Thanks Ken

Thanks Brad, Early November 1959 built in Adelaide. The grey or silver dash was added to liven up the interior a bit. Most single tone cars have a second colour inside.

I thought she was a 59
when i punched the numbers into the id tech section,it states that the trim numbers dont add up.
Any thoughts?

Sorry for the late reply Martin.
But the rear seat is quite good considering,so your theory of the paper round may or may not be correct.
Cheers

Yes trim number should be 4-638, not 374-638. It may have been stamped wrongly - if so, I would like a photo to keep in my file. Smiley
