Holden FC 1958 -60 Utility Photo by  Blow the Truth  Gold Coast Car Show The  Holden FC  series is an  automobile  produced by  Holden  in Australia from 1958 to 1960. Introduced on 6 May 1958, the FC is a facelifted and improved version of the  Holden FE  series, which it replaced. Although it is exclusively an Australian design, the styling is reminiscent of a scaled-down North American 1955  Chevrolet . Engine: All FC models were powered by a 132-cubic-inch (2.2 L) six-cylinder engine producing 72 bhp (54 kW). This engine was carried over from the FE series, and although the camshaft was altered, the compression ratio was increased and torque was improved.

  Holden FJ 1953-56 Photo by  Blow the Truth  Gold Coast Car Show The Holden FJ series is a range of motor vehicles which was produced in Australia by  Holden  from 1953 until 1956. The FJ was the second model of an "all Australian car" manufactured by Holden and was based upon the established  48-215  series, commonly referred to as the "FX". The FJ, of  monocoque  construction, broadly followed the silhouette of  its predecessor , but featured a bolder horizontal styled front grille, along with comfort and decoration upgrades in a new sedan model named the 'Holden Special'. Originally specified as 60 bhp (45 kW) achieved at 3,800 rpm, the claimed maximum power output from the six-cylinder engine was increased to 65 bhp (48 kW) achieved at 4,000 rpm. The sedan, in  Standard ,  Business  and  Special  trim levels, and a coupe utility were announced in October 1953 and were followed by a  panel van  derivative in December of that year.

A  coupe utility  derivative, coded as the 50-2106 and marketed as the Holden Coupe Utility, was produced in January 1951. The 48-215 was the first model from  General Motors  in Australia to bear the Holden name.In mainstream parlance, the official name of "Holden 48-215" was eschewed in favour of the shortened "Holden" designation. Following the replacement of the first Holden, the 48-215 gained the unofficial nickname of Holden FX. This designation was first used in the Drawing Office at GM-H in 1952 as an unofficial means of distinguishing between early 48-215 vehicles with front suspension using lever-action shock absorbers, and those with the new telescopic shock absorber front suspension introduced in 1953 - the term "FX" was pencilled onto a parts
