Anybody know which Melbourne Holden dealers also sold Chevs back in the mid 50s?
Have a 57 Chev that I want to recreate a deler sticker for the rear windscreen. And want something cool like for the Muirs Holden stickers of the same time.

This is cool. Would be cool to get a sticker made up like this and put on your handbook.  Is this the type of rig u have?  |

Thanks for the Rare Spares tips. I knew there were some decals about the place, but not that many! Nothing as good as the Muirs version, though.
Mine's a 57 2-door hardtop – right hand drive and being restored original.
Tell me, do you have a date for that newspaper ad from Mentone listing the 56? Was that from that year?

no it was jan, but their adverts were all the same for the first 6 months, thats why the new car listed is a 56 build. do u know where your car is from? was yours a factory kit conversion done her or a private company.

Thanks.
So you man the ad was published January 56 or January 57?
My steering conversion was done privately using local (Australia) parts – dash and firewall. Those elements from the original care were unpicked and they new ones welded in as per factory. Then it was all put to an Australian RHD chassis with equivalent steering.
