It's black now with some refinements. Its bright so if out shooting ya don't get shot at but I don't use it for that I plough shit, tow shit around  the paddocks and have found that it's more fun without rear brakes connected. I can delete these posts later if this is your proper build page.

Using the decoder I get:

Assembled 1958, the 45,224th FE (in any body style) assembled in Melbourne Victoria.

Exterior trim code 284 is unknown

Interior trim code 717 is Persian Turquoise and Parchment Ivory.

Paint 253-7472  is Royal Marine in Duco Lacquer

Paint 256-7698 is Castle Grey in Duco Lacquer

Cheers Stewy     Adelaide would never have used a Melbourne assembled FE as a Police Car.

[Frankiej]

Wow thanks stewy that cleared that up cheers Frankie

[fe350chev]

How's it going there Frankie j? When you have done cars in the past and finished the underbody, what do most customers want, Holden chassis black, the colour of the car or some other coating. Is there anything you prefer?

[fcwrangler]

Just a bit more info for you, the cars paint is royal marine over castle grey. This means the main body colour is royal marine and the insert is castle grey. As Stewy has posted, there is no code listed for the two tone in this configuration, there is a code 248 which is the opposite of your car castle grey over royal marine.
Jim

[Stewy]

I think you are right Jim. Probably a Friday afternoon stamping of ID plate. 248 would be the correct number for this car being an FE the two tone was only the roof and the body. This car would be Castle Grey roof over Royal Marine body. You can still see the royal marine on the dash fascia which is the main car colour.

Cheers Stewy   

[Stewy]

249 is the reverse. Royal Marine over Castle Grey 

[Frankiej]

Wow you guys are amazing with your knowledge, and Deano it really comes down to a customer preference, but for me I like them to be quiet so I go for sound deadened on the underside, but my fj limo was fully detailed and painted body colour for show.

[Frankiej]

So hey guys I have a few questions, I had a little go at the fe on the weekend just a bit of a strip down on the front, when I got the car the steering wasn't connected, so I thought I should put it back together for me to be able to move the car around with ease but I ran into some issues, the pics I will put up might explain it I can't work out how to get the knuckle back into the drag link, also some pics of some stuff I have never seen before like the two door switches on both front A-Pillars and the switch in the boot and also the attachment on the front of the subframe I have NFI of what it is, also what are the water squirters like on the original wipers.
Cheers Frankiej.

I believe the front subframe bracket would be for the horn.
I like the bakelite light switch. I have one for the ignition switch in my Fargo. Could it have been used for a light in the boot?
You can buy aftermarket washer nozzles. 55 Chev ones fit.
