THESE MODELS REPRESENT IMPORTANT CHAPTERS IN AUSTRALIAN AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY. THE HOLDEN FE (1956-1959) AND THE EARLIER 48-215 (1948-1953) WERE FOUNDATIONAL VEHICLES IN THE AUSTRALIAN MOTOR INDUSTRY, WITH THE 48-215 BEING THE FIRST ALL-AUSTRALIAN DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED MOTOR CAR. AUTOART'S LIMITED EDITION TREATMENT OF THESE VEHICLES REFLECTS THEIR ENDURING CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE TO AUSTRALIAN COLLECTORS AND ENTHUSIASTS. THE NUMBERED CERTIFICATE AND PRODUCTION LIMITATION ENHANCE THE COLLECTIBLE STATUS OF THIS PAIR.
