-Piece of Holden History -One-year production run across all variants -Exclusive revamped interior design -Highly collectible
Receiving a fully body outer restoration, this example presents one of the finer examples in its pastel blue and features new tidy chrome wear and hubs. The re-design of the ‘wrap around windscreen’ was introduced exclusively to the FB release.
This FB Utility features a 2.2L 6 Cylinder engine powered smoothly through a 3- speed manual transmission. The Holden 6-cylinder engine was acclaimed as a great engine when it was introduced and due to its improvement’s and modifications, it was reported that no major repairs were necessary for over 100,000 miles- an article released by Holden.
Accompanying this vehicle is the original odometer reading 16,916 as well as the spare wheel, bottle jack, wheel brace and a generator for the car. Presenting a highly desirable example in this condition, this Holden FB utility would make a sound addition to any classic car collection. The FB Ute saw production by Holden in Australia from 1960-1961. As the successor to the Holden FC range, it was manufactured as either a four-door sedan, a five-door station wagon, a two-door panel van or a two-door coupe utility.
The FB series release offered a longer, more spacious and powerful design to its pre decessor, the FC model. The model saw changes made to the brakes, front coil springs, air cleaner and clutch. Fitted with a lower bonnet and new tail lights, its new design proved a milestone for Holden for future releases across various models. It featured a newly design to its interior layout to include the ‘Americana’ styled dashboard and presented far more elegant in comparison to its competitors at the time. As well as showcasing the new seating structure, it was fitted with a revamped instrument panel. A total of 147,747 FB examples were produced across the entire body style range with production coming in at 502 produced daily – these were high in demand!
