nz fe wagon

[-KIWI-]

Rare 1957 holden FE stationwagon..started out life as A NZ Post Office Radio Inspectors Car..in fact it still has the brass ID plate in the passenger side footwell..says P&T 3865..as well as a patch in the headling where the roof hoop was removed..motor runs and the car is still drivable..ONLY JUST!!!!original NZPO colours..well worth restoring to its former glory..body is straight and relatively original,some scrapes and dimple dents..obviously has some rust but nothing that looks too terminal..the right hand floor looks to be the worst but the car comes with a replacement panel from Rare Spares in Aussie..it has been drystored in a shed since 1995..only moved out for the photos..
MODEL CODE FE 219830-A..
