It quacked like a duck

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.

Ha!!! Thanks for that. Makes me feel better????

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!!!!

Hey Indiana . Not sure mate. But that's an interesting question

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.

Resto

Front doors are way different......

Great... thnks fellerz!!!
