1958 FC Ute

An improved version of the FE, with refinements to the engine, suspension and other components, which resulted in better driveability, smoothness and lower noise levels. A variety of changes to exterior trim and ornamentation included H-O-L-D-E-N letters across the bonnet front edge, diecast chrome fins on rear guards, additional chromework on Special side panels.

The drivers seating position was improved and the new steering wheel with a half horn ring (instead of the FE’s full ring) made for better visibility of the instruments. GM-H didn’t stop there, and added extra “hooding” around the instruments to help cut down on distracting reflections.

    Is there a reason why you did not include the Holden FE model in your site???

    Does anyone have information on a FC HOLDEN DELIVERY OR TRADESMAN WAGON.
    THIS VEHICLE HAS NO REAR SIDE DOORS OR BACK SEAT, LOOKS LIKE A WAGON & has a leather fold down front seat on the left hand side.
    ANY INFO WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
    Ps.. It is not a wagon that has been modified.

    Why is it so hard to get information on correct holden badge location and model identification.

  6. Peter says:

    I have 2 rear doors (left and right) for what I believe to be possibly FE from a deceased estate. They are in not bad condition with minimal rust, intact original glass, inside vinyl trim and external metal trim. Photos available. Cheers Peter
