Hi RET,

FB EK wagons have different trim. It is has a fake stitch line running parallel approx every 3 cm across the trim.  A repro is available for sale through ebay.  Thanks for thinking of us I'm sure you would have got some interest.

Hi Brad,

The RTA search is only for NSW.  You need to contact the NSW equivalent of the RTA in Queensland.  I think it's called Queensalnd Transport but not sure, maybe some of the Queenslanders on this board can help answer your question?

With my wagon I did the search in 2001 and the last registered owner had been in 1990.

Stewart

Dave,

Do you have any of the old rego papers or know of the chassis/vin number?  You can request under Freedom of Information (FOI) for the RTA to to check its records and contact the last registered owner of the car on your behalf.

I tracked my Grandads EK wagon a few years back that way. The cost at that time was fairly nominal ($40?). I hadnt seen the wagon for about 11 years and managed to track it down.

Good luck!

Stewart

G'day Leon,

Loved the FC versus EK - very cool  

I watched the next movie with my 9 year old son Thomas...quote "They're Hot Wheels Cars Dad!  Can we watch it again?"

Hey earlee..wash ya mouth out!  

All what Harko said plus...

Interior seat trim and door trim different.

FB had 'stars' on the guards the EK had 'dashes'.  The 'Special badge' is slightly different too.

FB had vaccuum wipers.  EK electric wipers.

EK has extra stainless moulding behind rear doors.

Hubcaps different.  FB were plain. EK had the Holden lion.

Not sure what you call it but just beneath the front windscreen where the air flows through is different.

EK was first Holden with auto option being the Hyrda-matic (or high dramatic). Not available on the FB or any previous models.

all I can think of at the moment...

Stewart

Cool pics Justin. It was a beaut day.

Stewart

Hey FE FC'ers,

If you like 'period' TV drama/docos etc make sure you watch Who Killed Dr Bogle and Mrs Chandler? which will screen on ABC TV on 8:30pm Thursday, September 7, 2006.

Set in 1963 it offers an answer to one of Australia's great unsolved mysteries. Some nice looking FB and EKs also hopefully feature too
