Holden FE-FC Nationals

Saturday 31st March, 2018
Hall Showground, ACT

All shots taken with a Sony A7Rii and Sony 24-105mm F4 OCC lens

From July 1956 until May 1958 Holden made the FE Holden.  The FE came in a variety of models and a wide array of colours.  Then the FC Holden followed and was the dominant car sold in Australia in 1958 and 1959.  So many Australian families owned an FE or FC and memories abound of “Dad’s FC” or Grandad’s FE”.

At the 17th FE FC Nationals at Easter 2018 in Canberra there will be a variety of cars displaying the different sorts of body shapes and specifications in which these iconic cars were made.  There will be sedans, wagons (actually called station sedans), utilities and panel vans.  There will be Specials and Standards and hopefully some of the rarer Business model.  There will be steel and chrome.

Immaculate interior
