Title: Old pics around Sydney Post by: Hewart on February 23, 2007, 10:48:54 AM I've just been looking around City of Sydney website archives and came across some nice old pics.... it's surprising how many old Holden were around in 1958-60!

Cheers, Graham Title: Re: Old pics around Sydney Post by: fccool59 on February 23, 2007, 12:35:54 PM i guess they may have been telling the truth when they said 50.9% of the market.
I wonder if that is my FC wagon about to have a head on with the tram in the top pic. Title: Re: Old pics around Sydney Post by: ridgey_didge on February 23, 2007, 09:23:20 PM What a great collection of old photos - so much to take in. Thanks for sharing them.

Thanks for the great collection of photos. Quote .... it's surprising how many old Holden were around in 1958-60! I think they were all relatively new back then, and in an FE FC enthusiasts eyes may even represent "HEAVEN" and the after life.Cheers Jim Title: Re: Old pics around Sydney Post by: RET on February 24, 2007, 01:51:26 AM Hey Les,
They're fantastic photos. I thought the same thing (Dad's car!) as that photo of the sedan with the BZA license plate appeared. That ute with the two blokes sitting in the back has a license plate only 40-odd earlier than Alex's blue/white FC (the one that was stolen). It was BPK-817. Sooner or later one of these pics is going to turn up a familiar car. How cool will that be? cheers RET Title: Re: Old pics around Sydney Post by: cruiser056 on February 24, 2007, 03:39:19 AM Hi Les,
Thanks for sharing the photos! It's great to see pics of those days where there are so many FE's & FC's Michael Title: Re: Old pics around Sydney Post by: mcl1959 on February 25, 2007, 10:18:21 AM Look at the chaos in that 1st photo! No traffic lights, no signs, just a free-for-all. He who pushes in the hardset gets to go first. Imagine the scene today.
Love the 2 guys in the back of the ute. Thanks for sharing Ken Title: Re: Old pics around Sydney Post by: Fast_Eddie on February 25, 2007, 10:34:17 AM Interesting...
Even today it wouldn't be uncommon to find two guys in the back of a ute at the corner of Bourke & Oxford applying the rule... Quote He who pushes in the hardset gets to go first. :o Title: Re: Old pics around Sydney Post by: Spinner on March 06, 2007, 08:19:35 AM Chuckle chuckle..
