but getting to the end result I'm sort of thinking, at a guess only,around the same numbers that you have come up with, that is,FB approx 835
EK approx 912.
Most likely only some of these on road, rest as projects and remaing as wrecks/parts cars.
production numbers broken down
Sorry finny but you lost me with your formula but getting to the end result I'm sort of thinking, at a guess only,around the same numbers that you have come up with, that is,
FB approx 835
EK approx 912.

I can't think what to write here so this will do.
A few more pointers for the punters:
1960 FB wagons were also produced in Adelaide.
As said vans were also out of SA.
This was because it wasnt cost effective to press the different panel shapes at all factories.
Also some Brisbane sedans were shipped fully assembled by rail from Sydney. As 98 Nationals winner was one of these cars.
As far as cars went sitting around in lots/dealerships for months it was the reverse. Most were sold months in advance! Commercials were often sold when the newer models sedans were already released as the commercials were often later in production due to the different panels having to be pressed. Luckily FBs used the same rear on commercials as FE/FC so there wasnt a big lag in production.

Just checked the numbers and using the same assumptions the 400 cars still registered in 1999 would now be 139 in 2009.SunnyTim wrote:I think you'll find there is a lot more than that around.
FB's and EK's had no plates between NJR-000'ish and NOU-999'ish in Qld.
Around 10 years ago we queried the Transport Dept database and found that there were > 400 cars registered as 'Holden' between this configuration. Obviously this doesn't cover any car that has been re-registered or was currently unregistered - it simply listed those cars still on original plates and before the time of lots of re-issued plates
Assuming re-registered and unregistered, it's still probably about right
Although still based on very questionable data.
