Can anyone tell me if the vinyl upholstery with the FC Holden pattern embossed into it is still available? (see below pic)  Regards Rod |

Top quality work.
I'm sure Glenn will reply.

Hi Rod,
I have 2 embossed black panels I purchased from Glenn (Stinky).
Never used, still new.
Cheers,
Gary

Thanks so much for the replies, I'm actually after the panels in the exact opposite from you Gary, Parchment Ivory (white) the same as in the photograph.
Both front and rear need reupholstering. A lot of the FC's I looked at at the last Holden day didn't have the pattern in the seat but I thought Id like to keep it on mine.
Regards Rod.

I might be stating the obvious Rod, but AFAIK only 1959 Specials had these panels embossed. For 1958 FCs these panels were plain. Dr Terry |

Didn't know that, I thought it was an FC thing. Lots of subtle differences in the last of the FC's. Was it just the specials or did the standards, utes and panel vans get the same treatment?

Actually rarer than that, only the third model FC (late 59) had the embossed pattern. Only on 225 and 229.

Thanks Ken, rare isnt the word that I had hoped you would use, bountiful, plenty, dime a dozen or even easily obtained would have done. Rare is a word I dont like when it comes to FC Holdens because that usually means not available or if it is, expensive!

It is not that bad Rod. The material is still the same. It is only a matter of the trimmer having the template to do it. Glenn aka Stinky has the template and has done a few off these now. Send him a personal message for more information. Cheers Stewy  |
