Hi guys most of you will know Trax have announced the release of the FE Wagon at $42.95 plus freight. Just to let you know we are finishing the FC Wagon master with the two versions in the shots below limited to only 100 of each in the colours shown. The pattern will then be converted to the FE Wagon and will be our best work yet. The ride height will be altered and we will release The Standard and Special versions once again limited to only 100 of each colour.
We have decided to reduce the numbers to ensure the value stays intact. This means we will not w/sale allowing them to appear on Ebay for lower prices than our web which is disappointing to everyone.We will do 50 of the Opel prototype and a very limited run of Police and Ambulance. We will stagger the releases so not to add financial burdens to collectors, believe us we know how tight things are.
We will then release the FE and FC Vans and maybe a Hearse . Think how good these will look on display together from the same manufacturer.
Hope you guys can wait for us as our cars will look very different to the Trax releases,ours are twice as expensive but a thousand times rarer and a lots of detail.

Guys just wanted to also point out that the two original wagons we made were originally 450 for the two tone and 50 for the plain are both long sold out. The blue Ute is also sold out and only about 40 black Utes left.
Naturally we are doing the FE Utes as well but again very low numbers.

I will have one of the Police and two of the ambulances when they are available, and I am interested in the hearse as well.

If take a ride in a ambulance you gotta a chance,
if you take a ride in a hearse its gotta be worse.

Finally some pre production shots, not accurate but  because of the rotten Valiant Drifter Van problems we can get back to building REAL cars being FE and FC Holden's, that will teach us for straying.
So lets be clear that we are building FC and FE Vans Wagons two door and four door versions and Utes with Ambulance and Police versions the whole shooting match. They will be staggered to make it easy on the pocket and believe me all the production numbers will be very low indeed. These shots are protos only a lot of refinement to go.

Thanks guys yes you wont believe how many nice cars we are going to build for you, we are going to give you models the others will not do and Dave the NRMA in FC and HT are on the boil.
The FC Van NRMA is really hard to find shots of anyone out there have any.
The FE range of Utes Vans and Wagons are also finally happening, bloody Chrysler Drifter.

Will you be producing any of the common dealership options. This was a Bill Harrison dealership option in Brisbane in 1958, obviously without the chrome as it was a commercial with the dicky seat and was cheaper than the wagon.

Will try the locals from the small country town I came from for any shots of the NRMA van. It ran for many years so chances are someone will have one.

An NRMA film clip on the organisation's history says Holden panel vans were first introduced into the fleet in 1963. Could be the reason why a photo of earlier vans is so hard to find. I have however seen the van that was previously used in the small country town I come from, and I recall it being used. That doesn't sound right I know. Can only think that the local Holden dealer did his own thing in providing the vehicle for the area service. I'll ask some of the locals for more info but it appears there were no FE/FC vans fitted out (officially) as NRMA fleet vehicles. The NRMA clip is at http://www.mynrma.com.au/about/history.htm.
