i had a big afternoon of meetings getting a headache listening to net ball australia's special requirements for a girls netball facility.
got home at 7.00pm with a headache. opened the fridge. no beer. ah - sh#t. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) wander out the door, down the lane to the cellar shop to pick up a 6 pack of J beer. and whats propped on the curb at the end of the lane. holden fc. 1956-58. my father's first car (not the actual one but similar - same two tone color, same interior). my first childhood memory of a car is this one. would have been 1964/5. sitting in the back seat of one of these little aussie numbers. sometimes in the front seat. i specifically remember going to the bakery with him to get the bread. he did have a car before that. a whippet. but i have no memory of that. anyway this one was there. completely original. no restoration. on full plates too. not historic plates. i have not seen an unrestored one of these for at least 3 decades. this one was completely intact. over 65 years old. the aussie car. actually a GM product and a kind of shrunken poor cousin north antarctica chevrolet! but a great car. these things could survive even a nuclear attack let alone australian roads back then. ford falcons fell to pieces from the front end back under assault from australian pseudo tarmac. but not these babies. ![]() ![]() it blew me away to run into something older than me, and with no plastic surgery. memories came back. who else has run into their first family car they can remember? and confronted them again in the street. post them up.

I remember lifting up as his white early 70's Citroën GS with red interior would start (hydro-pneumatic suspension). The seats were very comfortable and the fabric was soft, some kind of velour if I recall.
The speedometer was also very cool being this magnifying glass with the number scrolling behind it. They became bigger as passing by the focal point. I remember him saying; There are probably less than 10 of these in the country (Canada), this is a special car and very ahead of its time! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Obviously, there were plenty in EU, but we didn't get a lot of that offering in North America then, and still don't. Not his but same color in and out. ![]() ![]() |
