1954 HOLDEN FJ SEDAN
ANYONE WITH even a passing interest in local car history will have heard of the early Holdens from 1948, and their FJ successor from 1953. Visually the two generations were very similar, and the giveaway is the bolder and less labour-intensive front grille.
The FJ received a number of upgrades under the skin, including a mild bump in power for the 2.2lt ‘grey’ six from 60hp to 65 (48kW).
This is one of those cars that rightly features prominently in collections and for which values seem to have risen more or less steadily.
They are relatively simple things to maintain and are capable of big distances, even today, at a leisurely pace.
This example comes in close to original spec. Located at Bathurst, NSW, it’s on the market for $50,000. Tel 0468 605 867
