Not promising anything, but I've made a contact with a Historical Society who trying to find out where they ended up. I'll post more when I get more. I hope you enjoy them.

Great pics amte.

There are some good ones framed in the corridors of the Victoria Police Centre in Flinders Street, Melbourne.
People there don't even look at them
I'll have to see if I can get in touch with the people in charge of the police Achieves

Geez, you'd be sort of glad if you were a criminal and saw an FB or EK cop car about to chase you. Power wise they were woeful compared to what else was available at the time :lol:

Seems like they stuck to the poverty pack Standards when driving the FB's, but moved up to the Specials in the EK's :mrgreen:

What about the siren on the bonnet :egeek: :egeek:

I actually got the pitures from the Victoria Police Historical Society. They're the ones helping me trying to locate any, they can't be more helpful.

Samprince, I believe it's the intersection of Barkly Street and Droop Street, Footscray. As to what they're moving i have no idea sorry.
