My new FE holden

[sunnytim]

Here you go Ken.

No: FE225  22385  S
TRIM  4-582AO
PAINT  253-5258

The paint line may be 6258? Very badly stamped. I'm sorry that I haven't got the subframe number. It was very badly damaged. All I could keep were the legs.

Colin.

Yep 6258 = Hi Gloss Black
Thanks for the info

No worries Tim - I like black cars as well - Hope the following brightens your day
2 black specials and 2 really unusual black standards

Thanks for the pics Ken.  The FEs seem to be less rudimentary than the FCs in regards GMH's approach.  I wish I had taken photos of cars over the years 
I'm just about to go driving in my Black EK Hydramatic

G'day Guys, My FE wagon bonnet Bird & emblem looks just like the black one above. It's a March '58 as far as we have been able to calculate. Pretty sure that's how it came new. I bought the car of the 1st owners son who was 83 about 3 years ago. Had to replace the bonnet then but took the FC letters out, welded up the holes and put the original silverware back on. Our best guess is that this was the end of the FE run and perhaps they started to use FC silverware before the end of FE production ??  This is purely postulating    9,000 miles now in 2 years and running like a train. Cheers Moe`t

Here is a pic of our FE panelvan taxi truck



It has the double bonnet mascot treatment as well, so I will be leaving it as is, I have seen a few like this over the years
