Harry P. Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Remember... no hints or answers here. PM me with year, make and model. The answer: 1951-53 Holden 50-2106
Dr. Cranky Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 I really like this one, but have no idea! Good call, Harry.
mikemodeler Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Well it definitely looks real Harry, not sure if I can figure out what it is!
Harry P. Posted August 22, 2011 Author Posted August 22, 2011 Well it definitely looks real Harry, not sure if I can figure out what it is! Yep, it's real all right. But that was last week's game!
CorvairJim Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 I know it for dead certain! P.M. sent. (Hint guys: It's NOT a Corvair! )
warra48 Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 PM sent. I'm fairly sure I know what it is. Interesting find.
Kaleb Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 I know one thing about it, and another where you can find one
MikeMc Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 can i buy a vowel please ? Sure..which one...translates to how much you got sonny
Badluck 13 Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I know it for dead certain! P.M. sent. (Hint guys: It's NOT a Corvair! ) .......Thats for sure Jim.....its actually more uglier than my '61 Vair......
CorvairJim Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 .......Thats for sure Jim.....its actually more uglier than my '61 Vair...... That's not hard to do. Almost every car made over the past 30 years is uglier than a '61 Corvair, and many of the ones before then too. The Mystery Car is, well, I'm not going to drop any hints about it's age by saying if it's newer or older than 30 years!
Harry P. Posted August 26, 2011 Author Posted August 26, 2011 A lot of you guys got this one right... sort of. Most of you got either the name wrong, or the model year(s) wrong, but you were "close enough" so I gave you credit. Only a couple of you actually were 100% correct... it's a 1951-53 Holden Model 50-2106. Many of you called it an "FX" or a "ute," both of which are not the correct name (but seems to be widely used). And many of you got the model year wrong. The Holden sedan debuted in 1948, but this truck, which was based on that sedan (the Holden 48), didn't come along until January 1951. Who got it right (more or less): mark taylor MIKE THE MANIAC carsntrucks4you Badluck 13 Draggon Chris R Nitro Neil customsrus modelmartin Joe Handley my66s55 Corvair Jim Junkman mr chips Drgon63 trogdor maltsr Ryan S prostockmaniac
Joe Handley Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Many of you called it an "FX" or a "ute," both of which are not the correct name (but seems to be widely used). I wonder if that is the name of that body style or generation of truck, kinda like Jeep does with their vehicles (XJ, MJ, ZJ, WJ, TJ, JK, ect.)
my66s55 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 I wonder if that is the name of that body style or generation of truck, kinda like Jeep does with their vehicles (XJ, MJ, ZJ, WJ, TJ, JK, ect.) I think you will find the answer to that question here: http://www.classicholdencars.com/holden-ute-classics/
Harry P. Posted August 28, 2011 Author Posted August 28, 2011 I think you will find the answer to that question here: http://www.classicho...n-ute-classics/ And all of my sources, including this one... http://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/car_info_holden_fx_48215.htm say that the "ute" first appeared in 1951, not 1948.
Dr. Cranky Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Nice, I like the color of this second example.
MikeMc Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Nice, I like the color of this second example. I think this is more the Drs style........
my66s55 Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 You are correct Harry. By going to the web site I referenced and right clicking the heading "Holden Cars History" you get the history of the Holden and it clearly states that production didn't start until 1951. The 1948 pictured, as it is on another site, was apparently a prototype and differed by the lack of the parking lights. The 1948 FX,1953 FJ,1958 FC etc. seem to indicate the model. If a person takes a minute and reads the history they will learn that, written under the year 1948 the model's engineering prefix 48-215 is named FX so that you could tell it from it's successor. I believe that Joe's question "I wonder if that is the name of that body style or generation of truck, kinda like Jeep does with their vehicles (XJ, MJ, ZJ, WJ, TJ, JK, ect.)" is answered by the information on this web site. As far as a 1948 Holden FX ute, I believe I have offered my interpretation of that also.
