But honestly, I don't have enough knowledge to comment one way or another. As you say, whatever you call it (Golden Holden, Premier Prototype, Secretary's hush-hush bribe-mobile), it is still a very special car.

I think the angle of the photo and that its in b/w makes it stand out more. I read somewhere that the door skins on the FB were a hand-me-down from the FC, together with the boot lid, and thats where the feature originated from. Is this right? Actually that grill treatment is growing on me too!!!!
The parts book lists FE FC FB & EK as all having the same rear door outer panel - so yes you are correct. FB EK bootlids also fit onto FE FC so that is also true. The front door skin has a different part number - I presume because the quarter vent window section is different. But I do believe that the front door skins will otherwise interchange.
