Behind the Wheel: 1956 Holden FJ Special

The Holden FJ needs no introduction to many. This legendary vehicle, the second model released by Holden, was the first family car for a whole generation of Australians in the 1950s.
Step behind the wheel of this one-owner, two-tone beauty that arrived at the National Motor Museum after over 30 years of service in need of some conservation work.

whats the ariel thingy on the front gaurd ???

[@alanclarkeau]

Very wrong if it's a radio aerial. Mine had a factory radio (or dealer accessory from new) - and the aerial was just forward of the passenger "A" Pillar.

The aerial thing is used as an indicator of the corner of the car to judge how close he/she is to the gutter whwn parking.
