ES&A Bank Rockhampton

[customFC]

This is a pic of the English, Scottish and Australian Bank in Rockhampton. A trio of FE FC's. I wonder if that FE with the Tillies flash belonged to the Bank Manager.

Another great pic brought to you by the National Archives of Australia.

Alex, I reckon it's the head tellers car & the Manager has gone to lunch in his Humber.
I wonder if Tillies flash kits would have been fitted to new FE FC'S, or were they just fitted to them in the after market in order to attract a quicker sale.
Attached is a pic of a FE Station Sedan in the same colours.

Absolutely, I have a copy of a letter from Tilli Auto Accessories (Vic) to "The manager - Laffan Bros" (A country Holden Dealership) advising them of the trim kits which are available.
The letter advises that a free kit has been sent along with a promise of a visit from a rep with a finished car.
The letter advises that metro politan dealers have been keenly buying the kits and fitting them to new vehicles.

Letter is dated 7 march 1958

For those interested, I will bring all my literature and photo collection to the Nats as usual again next year.

do my old eyes deceive me or is the fe in the carport castle grey with a poo stripe    maybe the car is facing the road for a quick getaway

Sheriff, It looks more like Sheath Brown (not shite) and Sandalwood Beige. I think the ute is the getaway vehicle, as if you look closely you can see the fumes rising from the breather pipe behind the off side front wheel.
