Title: Drive Holden FC sedan advert (50) Post by: customFC on June 27, 2004, 10:54:15 AM This is a similar advert to one posted earlier, but is a better quality scan. Found in the October 1958 Journal of Agriculture.

The larger size rolling stock makes the car appear to be lowered when it has almost factory ride height.
The artist(s) must have been prescient, knowing the large diameter/low profile fad that would arrive some 35-40 years after they did their illustrations. Cheers Spinner |
