While at the Wharf yesterday we saw these beautiful cars. I “know” the old rounded one is an FJ Holden (c1950s) and it certainly looks smart. No idea what the second one was with the open-engine look but at first view it brought to mind Phryne Fisher from Kerry Greenwood’s books and the soon-to-TV mysteries. I can just see her in a car as stylish as this one.
A car worthy of Phryne Fisher (sorry about the horizon line).
I'm a Queenslander by birth and after nearly 20 years in the Northern Territory I've returned to my home state. I've been researching my Queensland ancestors for nearly 30 years and like most Aussies I'm a typical "mongrel" with English, Irish, Scottish and German ancestry.

Great web site! Not sure about older car, it might be a Ford . I know for sure that this is not a FJ. It is an FX. I have owned both FJ and FX.
Thanks Ernie. I knew someone out there would be able to help with the models of the cars 🙂 I think the older one might have been modified from its original condition.
