Title: Wanted: '56 FE Holden Post by: freckleface on January 23, 2016, 12:07:56 PM My Dad's first car was a '56 FE Holden Blue Sedan.
For his 60th Birthday, I would love to arrange for him to go for a ride in one. Does anyone own such a car that would be willing to take him for a ride for an hour? Name your price, anywhere in Australia! Please respond or inbox me freckleface65@hotmail.com. Cheers, Sara Title: Re: Wanted: '56 FE Holden Post by: NES304 on January 23, 2016, 10:31:44 PM There's one in Newcastle 😉. Where are you located?

It was 2 tone blue. I'm not overly familiar with the models. Is there a significant different between the 56 and 58 models? Title: Re: Wanted: '56 FE Holden Post by: RET on January 24, 2016, 12:28:27 PM Hi freckleface, the FE was released in July '56 and superseded by the FC in May '58. There's no appreciable difference between FEs from one year to another.
There are a couple of variations of two-tone blue, but by far and away the most common variant is called Teal Blue over Elk Blue, and that's the combo of Graham's car, shown here: (http://nsw.fefcholden.club/images/stories/clubcars/grahamf001.jpg) Hope that helps.

Cheers, Graham Title: Re: Wanted: '56 FE Holden Post by: freckleface on January 25, 2016, 11:08:50 AM Thanks RET. This looks great and exactly like all the photos I've seen.
Graham, if you would be willing and available in a few months time to take him for a ride, I would be so grateful! He'd love to talk to you all about the car! Please shoot me an email at freckleface65@hotmail.com, your availability (happy to make it later in the year around May or June) and how much you would charge. We can start to figure this out. Thank you! Sara |
