FB Holden=Big chick magnet
theres an FB or EK model in the Birdwood Motor Museum(S.A)
the same scale as that one
wonder what they were used for???

Stingray

Some sort of rare nasco hood ornament , I couldn't imagine what they would be advertising with a pic like that ,
Trev

Maybe it was a prototype pram for holden fans babies you know the old saying "You were conceived in the back of a holden at the drivein" and this was going to be the next step to keep the family loyality going?

I just wonder how those old vacuum wipers would go right now.
No seriously, I actually saw one of those models in a motoring museum somewhere in South Oz, In the early 90's on holiday. I can't remember where it was, but its was not at the Birdwood museum and they also had the same scale model in FX and HD, They looked to be made from steel but could of been made from resin or glass. They were behind fencing so you could not touch them. I will try to find some photos of our trip and post then if I come across them.

Regards John

i'm guessing someone is playing tricks on us look at the number plate

Ummm,

Maybe this is where the idea came from for the FB / EK couch.

there was a bloke that had heaps of old holdens in a big/huge shed on the sturt hwy which is the main way to get to mildura from adelaide between berri and barmera up in the riverland near a the berri winery could this be the one?

I wonder where it is today
