Found some old slides from my dad's collection... this one's circa 1962 of my siblings and me in the family FC. It originally had a light grey flash but some time around 1961 dad resprayed the flash to maroon using the old hoover vacuum cleaner with a folded hanky as a respirator mask
Got some more that I might post if anyone is interested.
Cheers,

I like these old servo's that look like they were set up opportunely in one's front yard.

OK, couple more pics...
My Dad beside the family FC (earlier than previous photo as still has original grey flash). Not sure what the story was with the white socks.....
Not sure of the location of this one but I remember the FE in front of our FC, it was a cousin's who thought he was top of the family until Dad bought his FC
Think this one is outside "shell house" in Stawell VIC mid 60's
This one is obviously later, I think around 1968-9 as dad had sold the FC to my older brother (who resprayed it to blue and white). Dad bought the ex taxi HD (hence the all black paint job) which he kept until mid 70's when he finally painted it red and white to sell it and buy a HQ 2 door Monaro LS (shame it was only the a 202). We built the caravan in dad's garage in the mid 60's and that's why dad bought the HD as the FC would not pull the new 'van.
Have some more I will post later.

Great photos and great memories Trevor, thanks for sharing. You really have to admire the can do attitude of the earlier generation "I think I'll repaint the car dear, I think I'll build a caravan dear" You've got to love it! Cheers Ole.
