Title: original books and dealer info authentication
Post by: fe350chev on April 27, 2012, 10:20:39 PM
Hi all

Just want confirmation that this is the book that came with new holdens of FE and FC vintage?

If so how rare are they?

Cheers

Hi Deano.
              I lent over to read the first pic and fell off my chair but in my donward fall I noticed that the fonts and Holden logo seemeed to be consistent with the period of FC  FE hand books. I also noticed that the page seemed to be stained with what may be in fact black dog urine. I also noticed that the entry directly bellow the urine stain problem was in fact what to do with lipstick stains . Having some experience with dog urine and lipstick stains in the back seat of my FC's  I can only assume that what you have here is a very rare and sought after handbook for the morally challenged.
              Actually I don't recall seeing this in any handbook but that's not to say it's not genuine.
    Brad.

The Good Housekeeping book is a FEFC and is correct for your car the FE FC copies in the blue are much rarer than the FB EK ones in the orange color.
nice to have
Brett

Thanks brad and brett. I wouldn't have pissed on it if i thought it would depreciate it. It's probably been pissed on a fair bit cos it came out of a taxi. It's good to know what I have. Any ideas how to get the dog piss my piss and some drunk guys piss off the cover mate.
