Hi Wot, you should have come up an said hello, it would have been great to meet you.

I spoke to about a thousand people. It was a fun day!

Steve

Should have done.

But as you know at these events you run into people everywhere and the day gets away.

That FJ wagon wasn't factory, it was one of the ones made by Cordell (body-builders) in Melbourne. I believe they made 24 in total during the 50s.

There is one 'real' FJ wagon though. It was built as a prototype by GM-H & was purchased by a GM-H employee. It is now owned by his son.

Dr Terry

Yeah, there's a photo of the GMH one somewhere. Looks a bit different to this one.

I probably don't know style if it hit me in the head , but I didn't like the wagon version they had there. Can't put a finger on it, but it looked odd


Oh, and big congrats to Laingy

Thanks for clearing that up for me Dr Terry I didn't think I had that bad of a memory . Wouldn't say I was over impressed with it either
