That be a ripper humpy

Not a genuine Holden factory one though mate.Only one FJ Holden Station Wagon was made as a prototype in 1955,they never went ahead with it.They raffled it off to prospective employers who wanted to buy it,one lucky bloke won it and drove it around for years as his daily ride and has since passed away and it has been passed down in his son .Apparently it is undergoing a full resto to date.That one^ is a Cordell Body Works conversion they did about a dozen of them,they say there is about 4 or 5 left today,bloody cool though hey I love it

A few old timers had utes with canopies built on the old girls too - think the nickname just stuck around forevermore Albury , just second nature hey .... unique , GMHolden should have done that Effijy they'd have sold one to me deadset easy

Yeah would have been good cruzin to the beach with racks and board on in the Effijy,CooooL

Remember you saying - a lot of very neat originals ended up at scrapyards & wreckers for parts when old geezers fell off their perches mate , lots ended up as pet food tins and the like sadly

That's bang on - there were quite a few years there where they were not in fashion & heaps disappeared entirely , lots more butchered for demo derbies , bush bashers & roo shooting wagons left in the bush etc etc and yeah gazillions of food tins

Spot on mate,even the humble HQ Holden,half a million made now try and get a good one,the HQ racing series wrecked a lot of them.I seen for sale a few months ago on Ebay a bare HQ shell,nothing on it no doors,no bonnet,no boot nothing bare bones,it was up to 3 grand and climbing

****ty photo but saw this very nice beast the other day.
