Sunday 8th July, 2007, will see the opening of a display by the FE-FC Holden Car Club of SA at the National Motor Museum in Birdwood, South Australia. The display is in the Museum’s ‘Club Space’ - a specially designated area in which clubs and other organisations are given the opportunity to tell the story of their members’ vehicles. The club was founded in 1984 by Glenn Adams and was immediately successful with many owners keen to join. The aims of the club are to support members in restoration, legal modification, advice, knowledge, social gatherings etc. Membership is open to anyone who owns an FE of FC Holden in whatever condition. FE models were first produced in 1956 and ended in 1958 – whilst the FC models began in 1958 and ended in 1959. Many colour combinations were available, but all cars ran with the same 132.5 cubic inch motor and 3 speed manual gearbox. The FE and FC Holdens were exported to South Africa, Fiji and Papua New Guinea. The models available were: Utility, Panel Van, Sedan (Standard, Business, Special) and Station Sedans (Standard and Special). The display, on show until 13th October 2007, will feature:
